Ms Catherine McManus:

I can address the drop in production. By 2017, the entire salmon industry had gone organic. Conversion to organic farming takes time and in our case, we took it farm by farm. It takes three years to grow salmon, so it is quite a long production time; that is our conversion period. That explains it. From 2017 on, 100% of the industry was operating according to organic principles and selling as organic Irish salmon.
