Roles, Responsibilities and Key Programmes of Bord Bia: Discussion

Ms Tara McCarthy:

As one will see when one goes into a supermarket, organic meat is a very small niche within the market. I had not heard of organic producers not being able to market their beef but that is something about which I will definitely try to understand a little more. I know there are some specialists who are marketing organic beef, but I had not heard of anybody who had not been able to sell that product.
