The ban is set to severely disrupt modern potato supply chains in Ireland.
Brexit has presented significant opportunities to increase the production and supply of Irish-grown seed potatoes. These were the opening words from Minister of Agriculture Charlie McConalogue at last month’s Teagasc potato seed webinar.
McConalogue is no stranger to the seed potato industry, with many of Ireland’s seed growers located within his constituency in east Donegal. As such, he is aware of the mammoth effort required at Government, industry and farmer level if the Irish seed potato industry is to be revived.
Brexit was a landmark moment for Irish agriculture for a host of reasons, many of which were negative. When the UK officially exited the customs union and single market on 1 January 2021, it became a third country.
Researchers in Ireland and Wales have been awarded €2.7m to explore the development of oat varieties that are climate-resistant and have high nutritional value and superior health benefits.
The ‘Healthy Oats’ project – €2.18m of which has been granted from the European Regional Development Fund as part of the Ireland-Wales Cooperation Programme – will also help farmers and industry prepare for the changes pending under the EU Green deal, including reduced use of fertilisers and pesticides.
Led by UCD researchers will work with agricultural communities and stakeholders to promote the health, economic and environmental benefits of growing oats – a crop which is ideally suited to the climate of both countries and well-established in their traditional farming systems.
Almost €3m for research project on oats
