Former president of MNFU discusses rising food prices
Consumers could see better value for money on Manx meat produce if the Isle of Man Meat Plant rectified 'fundamental' efficiency issues.

Huge production costs for farmers are reportedly forcing the price of food up.
Mr Johnston was asked if government gave more support to the root issue, whether the cost-of-living crisis may ease:
