Asda: NI farmers protest over ‘excluding NI produce’ claims

The area’s MP Sammy Wilson. who attended the protest to show his support for the farmers, said Asda had “questions to answer”.

“Asda are supplying local customers. They’ve got local suppliers who could make potatoes available to those customers and they’ve decided that rather than buy locally they’re going to buy from England,” said Wilson.

“The main part of the year for their market is Christmas and they’re being excluded by a big supermarket.

“This goes totally against the promises which supermarkets make about buying local.”

Mr Wilson said squeezing farmers out of business in the long run would “make food sustainability much more difficult”.
