Tridge summary

Lamb prices in Ireland have experienced a significant increase, with bases rising by up to 10c/kg, resulting in ranges from €6.05/kg to €6.30/kg, and QA lambs reaching prices between €6.20/kg and €6.40/kg. The top end prices are now pushing beyond €6.50/kg. This recent surge follows a period of base price increases of up to 30c/kg in the past two weeks, but prices remain significantly lower than the previous year, with bases then exceeding €7.00/kg, a fact that has led to producer frustrations. Meanwhile, ewe quotes have remained stable at €2.90-3.00/kg.
