By mid-March, chicken meat in the wholesale market fell in price by 7% and 23% year on year, depending on the part of the carcass. This is reported by "Kommersant".

Experts attribute the decrease in wholesale prices for chicken meat to the recovery of the market after the chicken flu epidemic in 2023.

At the same time, the decrease has not affected retail prices in any way. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the retail price of chicken meat averages 222.1 rubles per 1 kg, which is 2% higher in annual terms.

There is also a decrease in wholesale prices for chicken eggs. According to Rusprodsoyuz, the wholesale price ranges from 66-76.7 rubles, depending on the category, which is 13-17% less year-on-year. Retail prices for eggs are 113 handlebars per dozen, a year-on-year decrease of 12.7%.
