Greencore Malt denies IFA claims it is preparing to exit malting scene

GREENCORE Malt insisted yesterday that it remains committed to a viable and sustainable malt production industry in Ireland.

The comment followed a claim by the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) that it is only a matter of time before the company exits the Irish malting scene.

A spokesperson for Greencore Malt said changes to the intake arrangements for this year reflect market conditions.
