New strategy for organics to be developed

It will "reflect recent growth, focus on market development, current challenges, and future potential".

Minister of State Pippa Hackett said it was important now 'that we maintain momentum and coordinate all links in the supply chain from farmer to retailer' into the new strategy.

A new five-year national strategy for organics is to be developed.

The current National Organic Strategy was developed in 2019 and runs to 2025 and the new strategy will plan the development for the sector to 2030.
