Ireland: Retailers offering unfair price to potato growers

The Irish Farmers Association said today that potato growers are being ripped off by retailers. Farmers get €130 per tonne of potatoes on average, compared to the average selling price of €500 per tonne in supermarkets.

The IFA is holding an emergency meeting this evening to address what it claims is a crisis in the potato sector. IFA president John Bryan says farmers need a doubling of the price currently paid to them just to break even.
