IFA says factories are imposing unjustified beef price cuts

Joe Healy warned the factories to stop price cutting and undermining the beef market. He said over the last 4 weeks, prices have been cut by 20c/kg or up to €80 per head, which is the profit margin in most cases.

Joe Healy said Agriculture Minister Michael Creed needs to get tough with the factories and demand they stop the unnecessary price rot. He said the Minister can no longer remain silent on the factories; he must demand that they show some level of respect for his work on market access and he cannot allow them to throw it all back in his face with unjustified price cuts.
