The deadline is looming for the Northern Irish agricultural industry to have a say on a Future Agricultural Policy Framework.
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) is reminding farmers and those in the wider industry to contribute their views on the 'Future Agricultural Policy Framework’ document, with the closing date October 10.
The Department has been seeking the views of farmers on its ‘Future Agricultural Policy Framework’ document since August 1.
It is an important engagement exercise which will help to shape the debate on future agricultural support arrangements for Northern Ireland as the UK prepares to leave the EU.
In a statement, the department said: "DAERA is extremely grateful for the comments it has received already and would encourage those who have not yet responded to take the opportunity to do so. Final decisions on a future agricultural policy will be taken by Ministers only."
Written responses can be sent to Brexit Division, Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, Room 424, Dundonald House, Upper Newtownards Road, Ballymiscaw, Belfast, BT4 3SB. Alternatively, by email to: NIFutureAgriPolicy@daera-ni.gov.uk
