China has reopened its market to Irish beef imports, marking a significant step for Ireland's agricultural sector. The decision, effective January 12, 2026, comes after a 2024 suspension following a mad cow disease case in Ireland. This restoration of access to the Chinese market is a crucial development for Ireland, one of Europe's largest exporters of beef and dairy products, which generates approximately 6 billion euros annually in dairy exports alone.
