Bord Bia\u2019s Covid Indicators, 2020<\/strong><\/a> show that Covid-19 resulted in an increase in the purchase of beef in general across Europe. In the Netherlands too, shoppers sought to replace their restaurant experience, and beef, especially steak had an important role in delivering this.<\/p>\nAfter 18 months of scratch cooking, shoppers are now looking for variety and inspiration. In the UK, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium, shoppers are looking for a change when it comes to beef.

Ireland\u2019s grass-fed messaging can help offer the variety shoppers are looking for and convince them to pay extra for beef. We are seeing the beginnings of a post-Covid bounce in concern for sustainability. Shoppers claim they intend to cut back on beef consumption in the next three years, driven primarily by concerns over animal welfare and the environmental impact of beef production. Grass-fed beef is more likely to drive future purchase of beef compared to this time last year.<\/p>\n
