Additional reporting by Michael Carey Dairy calf exports have fallen significantly behind this year in comparison to the same period last year, according to the latest data from Bord Bia. The impact of sailing cancellations over recent weeks is beginning to filter through in the most recent figures. Up to the week ending February 27, there had been 16,169 dairy calves exported from Ireland to foreign destinations – representing a 26.7% or 4,321 head decrease from 2020 figures. In the week prior to these latest figures, calf exports had been running ahead by 22%. Spain remains the leading importer of animals with 8,310 exported so far (with the majority of these being calves) – experiencing an increase of 1,698 or 25.7% compared to the same period last year.
