My colleague Minister of State Pippa Hackett, who has responsibility for the sector, commissioned a report on growth opportunities in the horticulture sector.  The report will form the basis of a road map for the sector outlining the support and approach required to take advantage of these opportunities.  The report’s outputs will sit within our new 10-year strategy for the agri-food sector – Food Vision 2030.

The report on the horticulture sector being prepared by KPMG is in progress and is due to be submitted to Minister Hackett on the 31^stMarch 2022.

Publication of the report will follow without delay.
