CAP review ‘a threat to profitability’

THE mid-term review of the Common Agricultural Policy and inflation pose a threat to the future profitability of the agriculture and food sectors.

Donal Cashman, president, identified these threats at the Irish Co-operative Organisation Society (ICOS) 30th national conference in Dublin yesterday.

He said co-op boards will have to make decisions on how they will manage their businesses, considering the new support regime and changed market conditions.
