Update on the work of the Beef Taskforce

The first meeting of the Beef Taskforce took place on 3 December. Minutes and update reports from that meeting will be published on the DAFM website on Wednesday 18 December.

The next meeting of the Beef Taskforce will take place on 9 January 2020. Irish and UK retailers have been invited to participate to discuss market trends and requirements, specifically in relation to the Quality Payment System in-spec bonus criteria currently in operation in the Irish beef sector.

As part of September’s Beef Sector Agreement, a consultancy study on these in-spec bonus criteria has also been commissioned by DAFM.
