Research objective
The objective of this project was to describe the dairy supply chain on the island of Ireland to facilitate the identification of areas of strength and potential weakness along the chain with a view to ensuring the safety, quality and integrity of food produced from it.
The specific stage of the project addressed in this report included a review of the dairy supply chain on the island of Ireland. To this end, a documented analysis of the dairy supply chain was produced. Where gaps were identified, following an extensive data and literature review, these gaps were addressed by conducting semi-structured interviews with 11 dairy industry stakeholders.
