Potato Sector.

The area of potatoes grown in Ireland for the years requested is as follows:
Year | Hectares |
1970 | 56,835 |
1980 | 41,583 |
1990 | 24,300 |
2000 | 13,173 |
2004 | 12,604 |
The issue regarding the sale of 4,500 tonnes of stored potatoes does not come within my remit and is a matter for resolution between the growers involved and the company with whom they carry on business.
