The Minister is almost giving out to me as if I had made the prediction. He made the predictions, not me. As he said, 1,800 tonnes of beef were exported to the US. This compares with 270,000 tonnes into Britain. It turned out to be a small market. Will this market expand other than for prime cuts or is the only way to achieve the volumes and sales he mentioned through the export of manufactured beef? Does he accept that manufactured beef is a commodity that does not fetch premium prices?
