About Us

The Irish Dairy Board (IDB) is an Irish dairy co-operative, owned by Irish dairy processing co-operatives and dairy companies and, through them, by Irish dairy farmers.

IDB has built its export business by opening up new markets and developing new and exciting products that meet the needs of consumers around the world. The IDB exports to over 90 countries worldwide.

We are proud that our brands, including Kerrygold, Dubliner and Pilgrims Choice are market leaders and firm favourites with consumers in countries all over the world.

The success of our business is based on the unique provenance and quality of Irish milk from grass fed cows. In Ireland, we’re very proud of our traditional family farms and of our sustainable, low-carbon grass-based dairy system.

With the abolition of EU milk quotas in 2015, Ireland will be able to produce up to 50% more milk. We plan to use that milk to bring our product range to new markets and new customers all over the world.
