Nicholson welcomes UK/China dairy deal
Mr Nicholson said: “I welcome the deal announced between the UK and China and the increased opportunities this presents for UK dairy and Northern Ireland’s farmers.
“Given their world-leading production and welfare standards, Northern Ireland’s dairy farmers are well placed to benefit from the growing demand for quality dairy products in China.

“It is great to see that the work of the industry collectively to increase exports continues to yield results. I hope that Northern Ireland’s producers will soon feel the benefits of the deal announced this week.”
