Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Consolidation in Horticultural Grower Numbers: Discussion
Mr. Sean Ryan:
That market might not be there next year. No one knows.
We will not have exports next year because crops were planted two months late. Nothing was planted in March. There will probably be a little bit of a gap between the early crops and the main crops. I do not think we will have exports this year. I visited a crop yesterday evening where a field of 20 acres was completely written off by hailstones. We will not have them to export this year. That is the way it is looking.
