An economist predicts further rise in beef prices in Russia.

According to Trofimov, beef is one of the most inflation-sensitive products, and its price depends on many factors, such as the cost of feed, fuel, and logistics. For example, feed costs have increased by 15-18%, and diesel prices by 20%. These increases impact the final price of the MEAT.

The economist doesn't rule out the possibility that beef prices will continue to rise by the end of the year, although the rate of growth will likely slow. A 3-5% increase is expected in the last quarter of 2025. However, it won't be possible to completely halt the price increase, as raw material and transportation costs remain higher than last year.
