Kerry farmers have expressed their concern at the decision by Chinese authorities to impose duties on EU dairy imports.
The decision has the potential to impact Irish farming families at a time where dairy markets around the world are struggling.
China is an important market for both EU and Irish dairy.
Dairy Industry Ireland are calling on the EU Commission and the Irish government to work quickly to resolve this issue.
Owen O’Sullivan, Dairy Chair at Kerry IFA says duties on EU dairy imports is only going to make an already difficult time worse.
