Approximately two-thirds of Carbery farmers hold a nitrates derogation, making its renewal in 2021 vital for the dairy processor.
As the Department of Agriculture conducts an interim voluntary review this month, Carbery advisor Aoife Feeney, told an IFA meeting in Macroom last Thursday that not only would the dairy industry be making a submission, but also Carbery would be making its own separate submission on why the derogation was vital for its suppliers. “We’re putting in our own submission on the derogation review,” Feeney said. Carbery accounts for roughly 25% of Ireland’s cheddar output.
