High-calibre board assembled to present development policy plan

THE 2020 Strategy Committee for agri-food, forestry and fisheries is drawn from senior experts and participants in all aspects of the sector.

Agriculture Minister Brendan Smith has asked the committee to draw up a short, sharp document which sets out the key strategies required for the development of the sector.

He has asked the committee to report by June 1, 2010. It will also consider comments received from individuals and organisations through the public consultation exercise.
