Agriculture regulator has launched a crackdown on traders violating the 50-kilogramme rule in the packaging of Irish potatoes as the government moves to implement the new regulation.

Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) launched the crackdown in Meru Wednesday with those found violating the rule expected to be arrested and arraigned for defying Cap 16 of the Crops Act, which banned packaging of the produce in extended bags.
