4 OCTOBER 2018

ICSA is to mount a protest at ABP Clones as processors continue to hammer beef farmers with price cuts. The protest will take place tomorrow (Friday 5 October) from 7am, ABP Clones, Co Monaghan.

ICSA beef chairman Edmund Graham said, “ICSA did not attend the Beef Forum this week due to the lack of solidarity shown by processors to beef producers. Never has this lack of solidarity been more evident than in the last few weeks.”

“Farmers are on their knees, anger is mounting and factories have refused to engage with us in a meaningful way at the roundtable.”

ICSA Suckler chair Jimmy Cosgrave has hit out at the Department of Agriculture’s decision to offer only online training to participants of the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (SCEP). “This move is very concerning, especially considering the older age demographic of suckler farmers. Many of these farmers may not have reliable internet access or have the necessary computer skills to navigate complex online platforms. The focus should be on ensuring as many farmers as possible can benefit from the scheme rather than putting barriers in place,” he said.
