Mr. Eamon Dixon:

Iit is still very fragmented. There are issues in it. We are being told that some of the poor economy relates back to the Ukraine war. There is poor economy in Europe. There was what looked like something that was going to help us there. Reference was made here to farming access to the Chinese market. We were supposed to be getting back to regain a little bit more access to that market but when the war happened the Russians started sending crab into the Chinese market really cheaply, perhaps not directly but maybe through another country. That basically took the Irish crab out of that market again as the Chinese did not want to pay for it. If they are getting cheaper product obviously they are going to take it. There are issues around it. From what we are being told by the people we sell to, they do not know how next year will be. Certainly they are saying not to be expecting anything big. We can take it that prices will be low again and it will be very hard to make it viable again.
