I’m not sure today’s Eurostat figures on the value add of agriculture to the Irish economy do justice to the importance of the sector to the rural economy, normalised as they are to GDP. I think a more illustrative measure, relatively, is the percentage employment of agriculture which is very close to the EU average, albeit declining over the last decade.
