Ripley discusses the pricing landscape, in particular, how current price levels are operating at Decile 9 and 10. Acknowledging the recent market volatility, Ripley discusses pricing so far in 2026 and how that has caused some wariness from restockers to emerge, especially relating to paying higher prices in an uncertain outlook.

Unpack emerging trends observed by Ripley, supported by both a seasonal lull in supply and of beef processors reducing throughput. Find out what it all means for the local market, and how it’s related to falling global export market prices.
