Beef price rises 'must continue' as farmers are urged to 'sell hard'
Declan Hanrahan said that the rollout of the PGI for Irish Grass Fed Beef on the Italian market recently "must add further value" to Ireland's beef exports and be returned in higher beef prices to farmers.
The Irish Farmers' Association has said that beef price rises of 10c/kg over the past week must continue.
IFA livestock chairman Declan Hanrahan said that demand for beef in the key UK and EU markets is strong, with supplies in these markets reducing for the year, "creating real potential for strong and sustained growth in beef prices here".
