Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Impact of Brexit on the Agrifood Industry: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Tara McCarthy:

We run to a three-year strategy and we are in the final year of our strategy in 2021. However, we do our plans annually. We are working and have had the first meeting of our strategic committee that is made up of our board and that supports us in designing our strategy. That strategy will be worked on this year. The proposal that we have put to the board is that we should have a ten-year strategy that feeds a three-year strategy that delivers a one-year plan. We fundamentally believe that the timelines involved for the courageous moves that are required in agriculture probably need a ten-year timeframe to deliver some of the big impact pieces, but we must show what we can deliver in three years within that and what we deliver annually behind that. We will be delighted to share with the committee the journey we are on for that, but we will be presenting our new strategy for 2022.
