In this conversation, I chat with Barbara Walsh, the Trade Manager of the Irish Exporters Association, about her extensive background in international trade, her experiences living in various countries, and the growing accessibility of Irish food products abroad. We discuss the role of the Irish Exporters Association in supporting food businesses, the importance of networking, and the value of awards for food producers. Barbara shares insights on market entry challenges and the significance of certifications, while also reflecting on her personal experiences and future plans.
The Irish Exporters awards entry is now open to all businesses in the export area – Food and Drink businesses are encouraged to apply.
Closing date is May 7th 2025.
