The CAP payment came into effect last year, and this east-to-west shift is due to a number of factors, including a capping of payments.
Phelim O'Neill, Market Intelligence & EU Specialist with the Irish Farmers Journal, says there will still be outliers to the figures cited in the economic outlook report.
