Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Challenges within the Organic Farming Sector: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Enda Monaghan:

I am familiar with lamb but only 30% of lamb is grown organically. That is a shame. I would say that beef is probably a bit better. It could be 40% or 50%. Only 28 dairy farmers are organic. Individually, they can do good deals with the co-operatives if the co-operative wants them, but once they have one lad in, if he is big enough, there is no room for another guy in it.
