ICSA sheep chairman Paul Brady has expressed concern at the news that Kepak is to undertake a review of operations at their Hacketstown plant. “From the point of view of sheep producers, the possibility of a reduction in competition for lambs is a worrying prospect. We need as many viable meat processors operating as possible.”

FACTORIES DIRECTING THE TRADE TO FILL THEIR OWN FEEDLOTS

ICSA Beef chair Edmund Graham has criticised factories for attempting to direct the trade by pulling prices this week in order to fill their own feedlots. “Prices being pulled this week is a disgrace as there is no real justification for it. The average GB price (England, Scotland, Wales) has increased by the equivalent of 20c/kg excluding VAT since the start of August. Meanwhile, after a few weeks of improved prices, factories are attempting to drive Irish prices to a new low for 2023. This is not acceptable,” he said.
