At our Irish Friday Club on 10 December we welcomed Hannah Barkhoff, market specialist with Bord Bia. Hannah spoke about her work promoting Irish food and produce in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Speaking to an audience who were keen to learn about her work and as to how Irish food & drinks are promoted in the German speaking regions, Hannah detailed how as part of the Bord Bia team, she tailors the messaging for the specifics of the market, undertakes various promotional campaigns with well-known figures in market highlighting the sustainable and organic farming practiced in Ireland. Hannah also outlined the manner in which Bord Bia counteracted and mitigated the effects of the Covid pandemic and of Brexit on the supply and delivery as well as the demand for, Irish produce.
