Beef prices at the factories have continued their upward trend with further gains for producers as the processors compete for supplies, despite the strength of the weekly intake.
Base prices on offer from the factories have increased by up to 5 cents/kg in general, with some of the factories paying up to 10 cents/kg more for supplies this week, depending on the location and the pressure to get the extra stock.
