Farmers say importation of German eggs is 'deeply troubling' as Lidl confirms 'temporary' sourcing
“Producers need more of the margin on eggs to reinvest in their businesses."
Irish Farmers' Association poultry chairman Nigel Sweetnam has criticised Lidl Ireland for importing German eggs, saying that is "deeply troubling".
“Lidl and all retailers have to engage in constructive dialogue to develop a fair, sustainable plan that supports local egg producers and ensures the survival and growth of the sector," Mr Sweetnam said.
