Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue has warned European fertiliser supplies will need to be closely monitored over the next few months as the impacts of Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues to be felt across the agri-food sector.
Speaking ahead of the Council of Agriculture and Fisheries Ministers in Luxembourg, Mr McConalogue said fertiliser affordability and availability was one of the biggest challenges facing Irish farmers at present.
