Challenges Facing the Tillage Industry: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Kieran McEvoy:
Just quickly on protein, the Senator mentioned soya. There is a European strategy to grow proteins which we avail of through peas and beans. There is a subsidy to do that at the moment. However, there is a problem with the end use of those products. There is not enough buy-in from people who could use them as a replacement because soya is so easily obtained with just a phone call. Work needs to be done in that area.
