Derrick Frigot, who was president of the Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society for six years until last month, said that the likelihood of further business for his company, Jersey Island Semen Exports Ltd, was not the reason behind his support for the proposition.
‘I would probably benefit, but that is not the commanding factor,’ he said. ‘Jersey could only potentially be an extra ten per cent of business for JISEX because we deal all over the world, so Jersey is not a big market for us. The whole Island is equivalent to maybe four of our customers in the UK.
