IFAC and Pinion host important webinar for food and agribusinesses under the shadow of Trump’s economic plans

IFAC, Ireland’s farming, food, and agribusiness specialist professional services firm, is delighted to host a webinar with US counterpart Pinion to explore what’s next for food and agribusiness under the new Trump administration.

 

Pinion is a top US accounting firm and business advisory provider, and a global leader in food and agriculture consulting.

 

As American trade policies shift, indicating changes on the horizon for Irish food and agribusinesses who are exporting to the US, the IFAC and Pinion online food and agribusiness briefing will be of particular benefit to business owners and c-suite executives involved in export to the USA, international sales leaders in food and agribusiness, and policy executives at sector and government level.

 

The webinar will take place on Tuesday, 11th March 2025 at 4 pm Irish time (and 11 am Washington D.C. local time).

 

The online event is also taking place on US President Donald Trump’s 50th day in office.

 

The guest speaker for the event is Brian Kuehl, Director of Government and Public Affairs at Pinion and a leading food and agribusiness lobbyist based in Washington, D.C. Brian has extensive experience advising businesses and policymakers on US trade policy, tariffs, and market access.

 

Karol Kissane, Head of Public Sector Services and Economics and David Leydon, Group Head of Growth & Agrifood Consulting, both at IFAC, will also be speaking on the webinar.

 

David Leydon, Group Head of Growth & Agrifood Consulting at IFAC said: “This is a really good opportunity for Irish business owners and their teams to get a better understanding of what lies ahead for the food and agribusinesses sector in light of the recent developments in the US administration. Last year alone, Ireland’s export value of food, drink and horticulture exports stood at a record €17 billion* so any change in trade policies could make a significant impact on the future of the sector and businesses need to be aware of the current unfolding situation and guided through any future challenges.”
