Flooding aid package ends four-year fight for compensation

Flooding aid package ends four-year fight for compensation >More in © Science Photo Library Farmers in Northern Ireland have been handed a compensation package worth £3.45m, four years after devastating floods hit the north-west region of the province. The force of the floodwater in August 2017 left farms with ruined access, severe erosion and fields buried under deep deposits of mud and silt. Efforts to restore land to its former productive levels have continued over the four years. But many farms in the Glenelly area have struggled to recover, particularly where there were landslides. After four years of sustained lobbying by the Ulster Farmers Union (UFU), the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera) has agreed to make compensation payments.

Jump in Northern Ireland farm income bucks falling UK trend

Jump in Northern Ireland farm income bucks falling UK trend >More in © imageBROKER/Shutterstock Farm incomes in Northern Ireland (NI) rose by 27% during 2020-21, bucking the downturn seen elsewhere in the UK, according to the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs. Provisional Farm Business Income statistics for the 12 months to mid-February suggest an average increase of £7,104 to £33,039, up from £25,935 in 2019-20. The improved average is a result of the strong livestock and dairy bias in Northern Ireland compared with other UK regions where overall averages were dragged down by declines in arable output. As in England, NI arable growers had a relatively poor year.

Northern Ireland working to secure PGI status for grass fed beef -

April 6, 2021 10:49 am Livestock and Meat Commission (LMC) chief executive, Ian Stevenson, has confirmed that work is progressing to demonstrate that Northern Ireland’s beef industry readily meets the grass-fed criteria laid out by Bord Bia in the specification contained within the Republic of Ireland’s submission to the European Commission, requesting Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status for Irish Grass Fed Beef. He commented: “The first point to be made is that all industry stakeholder groups involved are totally supportive of Northern Ireland being included within the scope of the PGI registration. “And the same principle holds, where Bord Bia is concerned. A working group for Northern Ireland has now been set up, which is being chaired by the commission’s industry development manager, Colin Smith.”
