Mr. Trevor Donnellan:

I do not. I said we were a little concerned about one area with respect to the report we had produced. Persuading farmers to become involved in producing a new crop is challenging. Like anyone who engages in an activity from a business perspective, farmers want to be confident that if they are to produce something, someone will buy it from them at a price they consider to be attractive or one they envisage is possible. Who is going to buy it? Where is the market for this produce? That is a concern farmers would have.

Another concern farmers would have is acquiring the skill set required to grow the particular crop. There is a misconception is some quarters than an individual farmer knows how to engage in any type of farming. That is not the case. A plumber cannot fix my car and a carpenter cannot plumb my house. There are different types of farming and some skill sets are common to all forms, while others are far more specific. There is also a skill set to be acquired. That is another aspect. Farmers would need to be confident that they could grow the crop and achieve the yield they would expect to achieve in order that the crop could be sold and have commercial value. The supply chain is important in that respect.
