Was in Lidl this morning and a 1.2kg chicken 2 euro and very hard to beat that for value.

I noticed that packs of beef and chickens slice now weighs a lot less. It’s the old trick to fool the consumer, no price increase but cut the weight.

lab man

look at flight radar youll get a fair shock my man

Did I see Moy Park were looking for workers?

In terms of protein, fish is not being harvested, so various meats will be filling that gap.

It hard to know what way food consumption will go. Fishing fleets are in port as at last auction fish were making less than the diesel cost to catch. All the talk is burger consumption will decline McD's closing and no burger after the Saturday soccer match. No steaks because restaurants closed.
Question is what will replace all these proteins. Chicken??. There is s lot of that sold by fast food joints and ready cooked out of Chinese and deli's in shops/supermarket's. However most of that comes from Thailand.
I think beef will hold its own. Supermarkets will not replace chicken on shelves sourced from EU farms with Asian product. Chinese demand for pork and chicken will raise again as crisis seems to be over there at present. If fish remains scarce beef should at least hold it own. Steaks are no longer expensive in shops. Pubs closed. Bolanaise on Tuesday, a couple of steaks on Thursday, Roast on Sunday as no trip to the shops or Grandparents, and leftover's on Monday or for sannies during the week. There might even be s bit for the dog or cat.

I think one thing people can and will do is put good food on the table, since so many other options in life are not available ATM.

In a normal recession people have way less money to spend. Admittedly I am only looking at the short term. In the short term a lot people will be working from home spending less on diesel and on latte's. Government's are paying larger income supports, no pubs and no social gathering.

It interesting that at present you cannot buy flour in shop's. Is this because people are so badly off they have to do there own baking. With more time on there hands and more mini for alot of people buying decent food may be the luxury they choose

Watch the factories drop the price now and Hoover up everything in the marts even if the have to give over the odds.
They always prefer to give it in the mart rather than at their gates

In the last recession, the cheap meat got dear and the dear meet got cheap.by that i mean people when they have little money will buy the cheaper type of meat so i think it will all come down to price per kilo.if chicken is the cheapest it will boom but if beef is the dearest it will get cheaper.i m not sure which is the most expensive to the consumer but iknow that beef is the most expensive to produce here.beef farmers are making nothing at 3.60 a kilo where as the break even for pigs is around half that or less.google tells me chicken is around 1.70 a kilo.so reading from that the outlook mightn't be great.it all depends on how much effect this has on the world economy.the truth is i dont have a bulls notion how all this is going to pan out though

By the time this virus is gone we will be facing into more Brexit uncertainty. This should mean Beef will be on its knees again by the end of the Summer

I think now that the Brexit hit will be pushed into next year.

Short term the sterling collapse will be significant.

Not good I’d agree, but hopefully more people will eat burgers at home,quick and easy to cook and if you are going to McDonald’s and purchase a burger but if you go to a shop you more than likely will buy a pack, maybe six in a pack unless your dealing with a butcher, was talking to a butcher Friday he was never so busy, never sold as many Sunday roasts for this weekend in his career, so maybe the hit might not be to bad

All the lads that left the shed empty this winter can feel happy so.

The 40k kill last week doesn’t suggest too many left them empty. A couple of thousand calves included in that ok but still.
