That is where I was going next. Is there a marketing issue here? A brother of mine grows a few tomatoes as a hobby. He sends up some bull tomatoes every year. That is a tomato. What you are buying in the shop is not a tomato. If that was marketed correctly or if people tasted the difference once you would imagine there would be a market there. There has to be potential for creating that Irish homegrown market or even if you wanted to go as far as organic market. Is part of the problem here that we are not marketing our own?
