Facts of the market 'at odds with negative messages' from some factories on beef price
Across the EU, "prices continue in a steady upward trajectory creating strong demand for Irish beef and ensuring the Bord Bia Prime Export Benchmark Price is rising faster than our beef prices", Mr Hanrahan said.
The facts of the market are "very much at odds with the negative messages" coming from some factories and their agents on beef price, the Irish Farmers' Association has said.
IFA national livestock chairman Declan Hanrahan said that market conditions are favourable in key export markets for beef, and the UK beef price continues to increase week on week and is now 60c/kg above Ireland's price.
