Chicken: Recovering from a Decline .
After a spring decline, wholesale prices for broiler carcasses saw a sharp rise in September. According to the Poultry Farmers' Union, by September 21, the average wholesale price reached 190 rubles per kilogram—30% higher than a year ago. Albert Davleyev, president of Agrifood Strategies, notes that the increase is partly due to seasonal factors and is in line with overall inflation.

Beef: A Structural Deficit. Beef prices
have risen by 8.5% since the beginning of the year, and by 13.3% year-on-year. Roman Kostyuk, CEO of the National Union of Beef Producers, attributes this to a global cattle shortage and a structural imbalance in Russia, where there is a ratio of six dairy cows for every one beef cow.

Pork: Production Decline
Pork saw the largest increase: ham prices rose by 12%, while boneless trimmings rose by 30%. Yulia Panferova, head of the National Union of Meat Processors, attributes this to a decline in livestock numbers on private farms and the worsening situation in border areas.

Experts don't predict a price decline in the near future. The key factor in 2026 will be the population's purchasing power, which could limit further price increases.
