Market intelligence specialist, Phelim O'Neill with the Irish Farmers Journal, is on this week's Beef Edge podcast to reflect on 2024 and discuss the market outlook for 2025. Looking back on 2024, Phelim discusses the increase in price seen in all cattle categories. Even with this increase in price, there is still a difference between UK and Ireland prices. Phelim also comments on Irish exports for the past year and looks to the year ahead. With overall beef production down in Ireland and within the EU, Phelim says this is reflected in a decrease in suckler cow numbers and highlights the possible opportunities and challenges this will have. Finally, Phelim concludes, beef prices are expected to be maintained based on the supply of beef and demand coming into 2025. For more episodes from the Beef Edge podcast, visit the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/thebeefedge Produced on behalf of Teagasc by LastCastMedia.com

Clare is said to be a prime location for an "expansion-minded" farmer looking to purchase land at a reasonable price. The Irish Farmers Journal's annual Agricultural Land Price Report has found the average price of land in Clare last year was €9,076 which was up almost 5% on 2022. 3,154 acres went on the market in this county in 2023 which resulted in 23 transactions ranging from €1,315 to €28,125.
