Organic sheep sector aiming for premium price

Just 28% of the total certified organic lambs sold in 2016 will secure a premium price as organic lamb.

Though not news to any farmers in this bind, this stark finding for organics was revealed last week in Mallow by Declan Fennell of Bord Bia.

There, at the first of three such events around the country organised by Bord Bia, he outlined the results of research conducted on the organic lamb sector in Ireland.
