Summary
Burke highlighted financial hardship among horticultural farmers amid high imports and asked what could be done to improve marketing. The Minister said a horticultural development group had been established to study the issue.
A lot of the information is available. The Minister referred to the horticultural section of the industry and I should like to say that the number of farmers in that sector in serious financial trouble amounts to a national disgrace because of the high level of imports.
