AgriFocus Extra: What lies ahead for the beef trade with Bord Bia's Mark Zieg
In this special episode of the AgriFocus podcast, Agriland’s Stella Meehan sits down with Bord Bia's beef sector manager, Mark Zieg to discuss the current beef price and where the trade might be headed.
Zieg outlines why beef price is so positive at the moment, and what factors might affect it over the next 6-12 months.
This week, factory quotes are already about 5-10c/kg more than last week and beef price is hitting nearly €7/kg. To put that in context, beef price back in 2019 was averaging around €3.70/kg.
The new administration in the US, coupled with increased exports from Australia and New Zealand and the looming Mercosur trade deal are all discussed by Zieg.
The fortnightly AgriFocus podcast series takes a closer look at some of the key issues that directly impact on farmers, rural communities and the agri-sector.
