Welcome
Minister of State with Special Responsibility for Horticulture Tom Hayes welcomed delegates from producer organisations across Europe and highlighted the very competitive environment in which fruit and vegetable producers operate. He referred to the dominance of the multiple sector in Ireland, and across the EU, and said that “an effective producer organisation offers producers the best opportunity to address issues relating to their scale of production and their limited bargaining”.
