Ms Louise Byrne:

I do not think that is necessarily fair. The reality is that the tillage sector has received significant supports through the years. This Government committed in the programme for Government to supporting the tillage sector. The reality is that the tillage sector is very much exposed to world commodity prices. Grain is traded according to world commodity prices and the vast majority of the grain is going into animal feed. That is a challenge. Tillage has good years and bad years. Unfortunately, we are now on the back of three particularly bad years. Are we optimistic for the future? We are. Do the stakeholders believe there are opportunities for the sector? They do. They have put down what we collectively believe is the pathway to maximising the opportunities for the tillage sector. My glass is always half full. It is clear that supports will be important in meeting our climate targets but there are other things we can do and are doing. We have mentioned a few of them here today.
