With weekly numbers continuing to lag behind those from this time last year, the ICM group lifted their quote for lamb by 10c/kg over the weekend to €6.10+20c/kg quality assurance.
This is an indication that tighter numbers are forcing factories to monitor their opposite numbers closely in the pursuit of supplies.
