ICMSA says Category 1 suppliers will face restrictions
He said it will be more difficult for Category 1 suppliers to expand and it will cost more because they are only third in priority access to the fixed pool and have no priority access to the market portion.
“It is ludicrous that if a farmer bids at 1c per gallon below the market clearing price, he or she will get absolutely no quota, and ICMSA is disappointed the Minister did not take on board our sensible proposal that farmers within 5% of the market clearing price should receive an allocation”, said Mr Cronin.
