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.

THE SURVEY IS NOW CLOSED.

Ó bunaíodh An Rialálaí Agraibhia in 2023, is é a mhisean ná trédhearcacht a fheabhsú i slabhra soláthair agraibhia na hÉireann. 

Agus muid ag féachaint chun cinn ar an gcéad timthriall straitéiseach eile don Rialálaí (2027–2029), tá an timpeallacht ina bhfeidhmímid ag athrú

Le teacht i bhfeidhm na Rialachán Agraibhia (Faisnéis Praghsanna agus Mhargaíochta) 2025 an 31 Nollaig 2026, rachaidh an Rialálaí isteach i gcéim nua — agus na cumhachtaí aige sonraí praghsanna agus margaidh a éileamh, nuair is gá, chun trédhearcacht a fheabhsú. 

Maidir le forfheidhmiú rialacha i gcoinne Cleachtais Trádála Éagóracha (UTPanna), tá plé ar siúl le tamall anuas ag leibhéal an Aontais Eorpaigh chun na cosaintí atá ar fáil do sholáthraithe níos lú sa slabhra soláthair agraibhia a neartú, agus beidh gá le torthaí dóchúla na n-iarrachtaí sin a chur san áireamh i bhforbairt an Ráitis Straitéise nua don Rialálaí. 

Cibé acu tá tú i do phríomhtháirgeoir, i do phróiseálaí, i do mhiondíoltóir nó i do dhéantóir beartais, tá do dhearcadh ar láidreachtaí, ar theorainneacha agus ar thosaíochtaí don todhchaí an Rialálaí ríthábhachtach. 

Iarraimid ort suirbhé rúnda a chomhlánú a thógfaidh idir 10 agus 15 nóiméad. 

Cuirfidh do chuid freagraí go díreach leis an bhfís don todhchaí don Rialálaí, ionas gur féidir leis tacú le córas agraibhia níos trédhearcaí agus níos cothroime in Éirinn. 

Coinneofar gach freagra faoi rún daingean, agus déanfaidh an Dr Monica Gorman, atá ag feidhmiú mar éascaitheoir neamhspleách don phróiseas pleanála straitéisí, iad a chomhiomlánú.

Dúnfar an suirbhé ar an Aoine, an 3 Aibreán 2026.
