Soaring demand for spring lamb

Ray Ryan reports on increasing demand for Irish spring lamb, with the latest Bord Bia analysis showing overseas interest is growing steadily.

Demand for quality assured Irish lamb has continued to increase around two great religious festivals of Easter and Ramadam.

The fact that Easter fell two weeks later this year is expected to lead to stronger markets, while the ending of Ramadan in June should also boost the demand in Muslim countries.
