Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine. The agri-food, fisheries and forestry sectors continue to be among the most important and successful indigenous manufacturing sectors in this country. Its primary producers are the economic backbone of rural Ireland and provide the raw material for the country’s highly developed and diversified food and drinks industry. Due to our high level of self- sufficiency in many products, the bulk of the sector’s output is exported. Given its importance, geographic spread and export reach, the agri-food industry clearly has a very significant role to play in Ireland's ongoing economic development. My Department together with a broadly based committee, representative of the major interests of the agri-food, fisheries and forestry sector, have worked on the development of a strategy for the sector for the period up to 2025. The resulting Food-Wise 2025 Strategy will maintain the impetus gained from the very successful Food Harvest 2020 Report and Implementation Plan. That report sees Ireland’s agri-food industry as being on a journey - one that is connecting local communities across the island to vast and diverse food markets around the globe - to borrow a phrase used throughout Food Wise 2025 - “Local Roots, Global Reach”. Building on our success to date, Food Wise 2025 sets out a vision for the industry continuing along this course of growth, recognising the importance of strategic foresight in capitalising fully on emerging opportunities in the years ahead. With the agri-food sector now recognised as one where ambition and investment are rewarded, Food Wise 2025 highlights the practical ways in which aspirations for growth can be made tangible and the sector can be supported as it strives for new levels of success in the intervening decade. Our primary producers, our farmers, are customers of this Department and as such are valued and supported. In 2015 we agreed a new Farmers’ Charter of Rights. The Charter is effectively an agreement between the Department and its farmer customers on delivery targets for the Department’s schemes and services and brings clarity to the arrangements around inspections. It also sets out in very clear language, the timelines, application, payment and appeals processes and is a very useful reference for farmers. The Charter will remain in place until 2020 coinciding with the lifetime of the Pillar I and Pillar II schemes. 2 Ministerial Foreword My Department’s IT systems underpin the delivery of the vast array of payments to farmers. We are constantly reviewing our systems and technology to ensure that we can deliver the best possible service to our customers. We also have sophisticated electronic services which are under constant development. Approximately 60% of farmers applied online for payment in 2014. This is a significant increase from 5% in 2007 when this service was first introduced. I encourage more of you to avail of this service as it reduces errors and increases efficiency for everybody. We also continue to use our text messaging system to send reminders of important dates and to help keep you informed of key developments. My Department places great value on those involved in agriculture, fishing and forestry sectors and their immense contribution to the Irish economy. Notwithstanding all of the new technology and systems, we are very conscious of the need for a comprehensive reference guide to assist all of our customers in their regular interaction with the Department on its many schemes and services. In this regard I am very pleased to introduce Schemes and Services 2014 – 2020. This booklet provides details of the various payment schemes administered by the Department, highlights important dates, covers matters relating to animal health and welfare, the numerous support measures that are in place, food safety controls and many other services. I recommend that you take time to read this publication and see what support or service my Department can provide to you. Minister of State Tom Hayes T.D.
