Eligibility for Bord Bia support
Bord Bia works with Irish food, drink and horticulture businesses to help bring Ireland’s food, drink and horticulture to the world.

In order to become our client, you must meet the following criteria:
1. You must be generating a turnover exceeding €500,000 from selling through third parties i.e. retailers, foodservice operators, other manufacturing companies.
2. Your product must be manufactured in the Republic of Ireland.
