Johnny Brady (Meath, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive report on this issue. Does he believe the lack of interest in organic farming is because of the small profit margin in the sector? Deputies Naughten, Wilkinson and I were in Spain last week representing the Joint Committee on Agriculture and Food. We discussed this issue with the relevant Spanish ministry and ascertained that the lack of interest in organic farming in Spain is because of the small profit margin. Will the Minister of State comment on this?
