I have repeatedly raised the poultry litter issue with you and with the Departments, North and South. Farmers in the South want poultry litter, and farmers in the North want to export it, given the phosphorus (P) surplus here and P deficit in the South. Have there been any discussions at ministerial level to help resolve the issue, which would complement nutrient management across the island?
