Challenges Facing the Tillage Industry: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Shay Phelan:
I will take that question. It was mentioned in a previous session that we are actively starting the process of putting a carbon figure on Irish-produced grain. That is an opportunity available to us. We can determine how carbon efficient our grain is compared with importing the grain. We could look at making that a premium product, as it would be if it were going into whiskey or into Diageo products, such as Guinness or whatever else. That is an opportunity of which we can avail.
