ICSA Concern at Reports of Different Factory Prices for Non-QA Cattle

ICSA president Patrick Kent said he was alarmed at reports that meat factories were offering different base prices for non-QA cattle.

“This is a breach of faith of the beef roundtable outcomes and it does not augur well if we can’t even keep to the agreement that there would be no dual pricing. The paragraph in the beef roundtable outcomes was unequivocal stating that, there will be no dual base pricing…by breed, age or weight or Quality Assurance status.”

CONVENING OF NFFSC MUST KICKSTART EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO WEATHER RELATED DIFFICULTIES FACING FARMERS

ICSA president Sean McNamara has said the convening of the National Fodder and Food Security Committee (NFFSC) tomorrow must kick start an emergency response to the ongoing difficulties facing farmers amidst continuing heavy rainfall. “With any hope of an early spring well and truly dashed and any fodder reserves dwindling fast it is clear this committee needs to rapidly reassess the current situation on the ground, including the extent of the fodder shortages and the impact of continued wet weather on farming operations,” he said.
