About Acorn Agricultural Research

Our vision and values

Since their foundation, farming and the whole Agri sector has been central to the people that make up Acorn Agricultural Research. From our base in rural Ireland, we understand the importance of the Agricultural Sector to the Irish Economy. 

“We understand the importance of the Agricultural Sector to the Irish Economy.”

The agri-food sector is the most important indigenous industry in Ireland at 24% of the Manufacturing Industry Gross Output, supporting employment of 173,000 people or 8% of the nation’s workforce.  With over €12 billion worth of goods exported annually, it makes up 8% of Gross National Income.  But, behind these statistics, it all starts with the farmer producing the best quality produce in order to support their family.  From this family farm has grown an enormous industry, processing and supplying premium products to every corner of the globe. 

At Acorn Agricultural Research, we have been privileged to work with each part of this supply chain, from the farmers, to the agricultural contractors, the agri merchants, the processors and research centres. Collectively, they all have the same goal: to continue to make Irish produce the best in the world.  We share this goal and continue to work with leading agri companies helping them become truly global leaders in their field.
