Strategic Direction of Bord Bia: Discussion
Ms Deirdre Ryan:
It is challenging but I would say we are in the top ten for both. However, some countries do not include land use change, whereas we include land use change. We track if soya is coming in.

We are up there with the best in the world, certainly.
