5.   Amendment(s)

In Section 4.5 ‘Method of production’ of the product specification. The original text states:

Soil Preparation


‘Soil preparation begins in January with ploughing. The field is then left to weather to allow the upturned soil to breakdown …’.

The amended text should state:

‘From autumn onwards, soil preparation begins with ploughing. The field is then left to weather to allow the upturned soil to breakdown …’

The reason for this amendment is that for some Pembrokeshire Earlies/Pembrokeshire Early growers (particularly those on the Pembrokeshire coast) ploughing starts earlier than stated in the original product specification.
6.   Updated product specification (only for PDO and PGI)
