Steers edge closer to €8/kg as beef prices rise 15-20c/kg
The factory prices for stock are now at double what they were a year ago.
Such is the ongoing unprecedented demand for Irish beef on the export markets that yesterday's price is already "out of date", according to suppliers.
Factory prices have been increased by a further 15-20c/kg this week as the competition between the plants further intensified to secure sufficient stock to satisfy the current demand.
