Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Development of the Sheep Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. John Murray:

Yes. This year alone, we have invested in a full-time resource specifically to try to develop our organic options and to push more into markets. We have a big leakage problem with lamb, so it is not just that it is 1%, but 70% of that is not even being sold as organic lamb because it is coming at us in a seasonal peak and not necessarily allowing us to build the maximum opportunity with customers.
