Mr. Ted Massey:

To explain RENURE in simple terms, the acronym stands for recovered nitrogen from manure products. The amendment to the nitrates directive that was voted on last week in Brussels related to three processes that had been deemed to create product that will behave very similarly to chemical fertiliser nitrogen. They are three very capital-intensive processes and we do not have a manure processing industry here. Our system is based on animals out on grass and nutrient recycling within a holding, which is a very sustainable system. In the short term at least, I do not foresee us having the capacity or the volume of nutrients to justify the level of investment that would be required to create processed manure products in terms of that RENURE amendment.
