Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Challenges Facing the Tillage Industry: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Kieran McEvoy:

The second thing we need is the serious implementation of the 28 recommendations for the tillage sector of the Food Vision 2030 group. Good work is being done by the Department of agriculture on that, but some of those recommendation need to be rolled out and moved forward to support tillage.

Third, we need to get support from the Government on the drinks industry where people are not using native grains.
