Data and Analysis
On Tuesday, December 9, 2025 European Union (EU) Member States voted to grant Ireland a further three-year extension to its nitrate derogation - allowing Irish beef/dairy farmers to avoid more stringent EU nitrogen restrictions. Of Ireland’s 140,000 beef and dairy farms, over 7,000 currently take advantage of the derogation which indirectly allows them higher stocking rates and increased dairy/beef production.
Top U.S. agricultural exports to the Republic of Ireland include soybean meal, distillers grains, forestry products, racehorses, and distilled spirits. In 2023, U.S. agricultural and related exports totaled $669 million, a 5 percent increase over 2022.
