Local sourcing Tesco Ireland highlights a strong commitment to supporting local suppliers, sourcing from around 500 Irish food and drink suppliers and supporting nearly 14,000 Irish farm families. This presents an opportunity to propose partnerships with additional Irish producers for private label products, sustainable packaging, and exclusive regional SKUs.

Irish product focus All fresh beef, pork, lamb and eggs sold by Tesco Ireland are 100% Irish, signaling high consumer trust in local sourcing. Sales opportunities exist in expanding fresh, locally sourced ranges, agri-tourism collaborations, and demand-driven categories for seasonal Irish produce.

Store expansion Rapid store growth including a new Tyrrelstown Superstore and 65 new jobs indicates ongoing market penetration. This creates openings for regional suppliers, co-branded campaigns, and B2B services (logistics, shelf-ready packaging, in-store promos) aligned with new store rollouts.

Sustainability shifts Partnership with Certa Ireland for renewable fuel delivery and carbon footprint verification for products signals a sustainability-forward agenda. Opportunities exist to offer low-carbon logistics services, renewable fuel solutions, and carbon-footprint transparent product lines for Tesco private labels.

Innovation & partnerships Active collaborations with YO! Sushi and Kepak Group, plus use of analytics tools (Power BI, Tableau) and media/PR recognition, show openness to innovative concepts and data-driven sales. Potential to pitch branded ready-to-eat formats, co-branded products, and tech-enabled promotions using Tesco’s data capabilities.
