Chairman John Murphy said: “The 2024 season saw significant growth in Tirlán's premium grain portfolio, with an emphasis on high-value crops such as Gluten-Free Oats and HEAR Oilseed Rape, benefiting farmers with higher returns. I am very pleased that for the first time, over 50% of our green grain intake has qualified for premium crop payments.
“Despite the challenges of the season, including higher costs and difficult weather, Tirlán’s green grain intake for 2024 will be over 173,000t. This reflects the resilience and hard work of our grain growers, who are to be commended for their dedication to producing high-quality crops.”
Head of Grains John Kealy added: “In 2024, we’ve continued to expand our premium grains portfolio. By working closely with our growers, we are ensuring that these crops continue to provide additional returns, particularly in challenging conditions.”
The Trading Bonus Scheme continues in 2024, offering €10/t for all eligible grain supplied, subject to the minimum tillage input criteria.
As announced in February, the Grain Trading Bonus will also be paid to non-shareholders for 2024 harvested crops in recognition of the challenging weather conditions and higher input costs facing farmers that supply their grain to the Co-op.
