'It is clear that the EU Commission is downgrading the importance of the Cap and food production to allow for greater spending elsewhere,' IFA president Francie Gorman said. File picture: Denis Minihane
The Irish Farmers' Association has warned of a "big battle ahead" for vital EU supports for farming, ahead of the publication of the European Commission's proposals for the next EU budget post-2027 and the next Common Agriculture Policy (Cap).
Speaking from Brussels, IFA president Francie Gorman said what was emerging about how farming will be funded from 2027 was "very concerning".
