Sinn Féin Agriculture and Rural Development Minister in the 6 County Executive Michelle O'Neill MLA today made a series of major investment announcements.

They involved agreement on CAP reform, the new Rural Development Programme and the agri food strategy report 'Going for Growth'.

Michelle O'Neill said:

"I'm very pleased that the Executive has reached a resolution on these very important issues. There were diverse views on some of the remaining CAP implementation issues. Compromise was needed and we have succeeded in finding a fair and balanced solution which represents a good outcome for farmers' right across the north. 

"The package of support agreed by the Executive provides a solid platform from which to drive the industry forward and help fulfill its full potential. My officials will update the DARD website over the coming days and weeks so that farmers can see clearly what the full implementation package means for them. Overall, today's announcements represent a good deal for farmers and the agri-food sector, a good deal for the environment and a good deal for the rural economy."
