Since the establishment of An Rialálaí Agraibhia (Agri-Food Regulator) in 2023, its mission has been to improve transparency in the Irish agri-food supply chain. 

Looking forward to the Regulator's next three-year strategic cycle (2027–2029), the landscape in which we operate is evolving

With the commencement of the Agri-Food (Price and Marketing Information) Regulations 2025 on December 31, 2026, the Regulator will move into a new phase - equipped with the powers to compel price and market data, where required, for the purpose of improving transparency. 

In relation to the enforcement of rules against Unfair Trading Practices, (UTPs) discussions have been underway at EU level for some time to strengthen the protections available for smaller suppliers in the agri-food supply chain and the likely outcomes of these efforts need to be reflected in the development of the new Strategy Statement for the Regulator. 

Whether you are a primary producer, a processor, a retailer, or a policy-maker, your perspective on the Regulator’s strengths, limitations and future priorities is essential. 

We invite you to complete a 10-15 minute confidential survey. 

Your responses will directly inform the future vision for the Regulator so that it can underpin a more transparent and equitable agri-food system for Ireland. 

All responses are strictly confidential and will be aggregated by Dr Monica Gorman who is acting as an independent facilitator for the strategic planning process.

The survey will close on Friday 3 April 2026.
