8 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if her attention has been drawn to the fact that in 1997 an agreement was reached between farmers, large retailers and her Department which would require that farmers received 48.3% of the final retail price as a minimum to ensure viability for farm families; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that the percentage of retail price going to farmers is as low as 35%, even though the retail price has increased in some cases; and if she will take steps to curtail the number of special offers which shops use to force the price which growers receive down further.
