It is great to get access to new markets but the potential in the Chinese market is limited given that the preference is for frozen beef. I echo what was said about the BEEP scheme. It is an important scheme and while it involves little money, we should encourage people to get involved in it. There is a bit of negativity towards it but farmers should take it up. The deadline is 22 February.
