Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Strategic Direction of Bord Bia: Discussion

Mr. Jim O'Toole:

I agree with that assessment and, furthermore, farmers have an appetite to improve. Some of the engagement that we have with farmers, in the surveying we do, farmers accept there is more to be done on their behalf. They are willing to do so and they want some guidance and support. That is something we are certainly prepared to do and are actively doing.
