IFA/Tesco controversy ‘at an end’

THE IFA is satisfied that Tesco is not trying to prevent vegetable and potato producers from supplying discount retailers.

“We are confident that this controversy is now at an end,” stated IFA National Potato Committee chairman John Sheridan and National Field Vegetable Committee chairman Kyrle Allen.

They made their comments following a meeting between IFA and Tesco to discuss recent media reports that the large retailer was attempting to prevent producers from selling produce to either Lidl or Aldi.
