12:13; 12 November 2026 year

### Russian Pork Prices Surge by 11% Year-on-Year in November 2026 The wholesale price of pork in Russia reached 160 rubles per kilogram by early November 2026, marking an 11% increase year-on-year, according to market participants as reported by the Russian business daily "Kommersant" (a leading Russian business newspaper). Specific cuts of pork saw varying degrees of price hikes. Half-carcasses rose by 8% to 227 rubles per kilogram, carbonade (pork loin) by 5% to 340 rubles, neck by 4% to 390 rubles, ham and shoulder by 3% to 310 rubles and 305 rubles respectively. The most significant increase was recorded for belly pork, which rose by 22% to 295 rubles. It is noted that the price increase is unusual for this time of year. Prices have risen by 2% in just the past week alone. The Ministry of Agriculture attributes the rise in wholesale pork prices to market factors. Market participants add that prices for live pigs were lower than the previous year for most of 2026. The current price hike is linked to a slowdown in production growth. From January to September 2026, Russian pork production increased by only 2.2%.
