Mr. Gerry Britchfield:

We have planted 7,000 ha in the past and we can meet the target if incentives for farmers are improved. The comparison is simple for a farmer. He will examine the range of options for his hectare of land be it planting, cattle, sheep or whatever. He will compare the returns he believes that he can get from that land under the different options and incentives that are offered under the CAP programme.
