Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ted Massey:

Whoever is supplying it registers. In this case I assume it is applying it on a number of farms so it attributes the fertiliser that goes to each farm on the database. If there are ten farmers involved, the smaller farmers obviously have less land, so there is less fertiliser attributed to them, while the larger farmers have more attributed to thempro ratawith where the fertiliser was actually used.
