Potatoes are given away by a farming union to highlight a decrease in local outlets to sell produce.

A farming union has given away hundreds of bags of Manx-grown potatoes for free to highlight a reduction in outlets for farmers to sell their crops on the island.

Tesco said it remained "committed to supporting and selling local produce" in its Manx stores. The government has been contacted for a comment. Visitors to the union's stand at the event at Knockaloe in Patrick would see an example of stock that there was "no place for" at the moment, she said. He said the so-called potato protest was to send the message "that if we don't buy local produce, it just won’t be here in future".
