	Dáil Éireann - Volume 427 - 03 March, 1993 - Greencore Shareholding: Statements.
		Greencore is a home grown indigenous company in the key food sector and, instead of using its stake to influence its future growth and expansion, it is being handed over to a multinational with no loyalty to Ireland, Irish workers or Irish growers.
		Greencore is a central part of the Irish food industry and it is imperative that the Irish food industry should now try to consolidate.
		Greencore is the holding company [621] of Siúicre Éireann and the special share, which may not be disposed of ensures that Siúicre Éireann may not dispose of sugar assets, including the Irish sugar quota, without the prior written consent of the Minister and I have pointed out already the Dáil's role in that regard.

		Greencore, which recently announced a 1.6 million increase in operating profit to 46.6 million in its ingredients and agribusiness division, said its sugar business faced a number of challenges in 2005, from a slowdown in consumer demand to impending EU sugar reform.
		Greencore marketing director Frank Gaynor said he expected the proposals to be modified but that company profits would almost certainly be hit.
		One option for Greencore is to move further into other areas, and the company has already started to do this by focusing on expanding its convenience food division, which now supplies most major UK retailers.

	Carlow Nationalist: Consultants’ report on sugar plant closure ‘should be published’
		Accompanying the protestors, Carlow IFA chairman John Kehoe said growers rejected Greencore’s decision to close the Carlow factory and he described the move as premature before the outcome of the EU negotiations was known.
		“Greencore has brought about a confrontation with two large farming sectors supplying its major agribusiness operations, sugar and malt and it seems determined to exploit its monopoly in sugar processing and its dominant position in the malt industry at the expense of farmers,” he said.
		Commenting on the Greencore AGM, Senator Fergal Browne said that Greencore’s decision to close its Carlow plant made no sense if the figures outlined by the company at its AGM were correct.

	Flexibility gives Greencore an advantage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Frank Gaynor, Greencore’s capital marketing director, believes the underlying trend in this area is “a big increase in the diversity of consumers’ requirements only in the last couple of years”, and he was keen to see how far the company could take advantage of this with its proposed low-carb, low-fat and gluten-free product launches.
		Greencore said in its statement that the need for flexibility was why bigger companies like itself were likely to improve, whilst smaller companies with less production and distribution capability would lose out in the UK convenience food sector.
		Greencore currently only gets 29 per cent of income from retailers other than these, including forecourts, convenience stores and transport, and Gaynor wants this to rise to 35-36 per cent in the next three or four years.
