Ukrainians spend on food about 55% of their income.
This year experts predict growth of prices for beef pork and chicken. Prices for chicken will not change as much as pork or beef. Poultry do not pay land tax and land rental.
So as soon as this state will stop the rising prices of chicken can be up to 30%.
“No New year or Easter, and there was no significant rise in price of meat, because the Ukrainians can’t pay what you would earn producers. This was evident in December 2016, when many goods could be bought cheaper than in November. “Easter was the same scenario. May holidays – this is more reason to talk about rising prices than to observe the actual increase “, – said Oleksiy Doroshenko, General Director of Ukrainian Association of suppliers of retail chains.
As reported in public organization “Economic discussion club” in April of this year, beef has risen by 2.5%, or 2.4 UAH. The average cost of a kilogram of meat, according to the Committee, almost 100 UAH / kg. For the year it has risen in price by almost 19% (until April 2016).
Pork rose in price faster: 7.3% (5.6 UAH) to 82 UAH / kg. For the year the average price tag has grown by 12%.
Poultry meat (average price of 43, 6 UAH / kg) rose in April by 2.8% or by UAH 1.2 per year – the same 12%.
According to the Economic discussion club, for 4 months 2017 the price of the minimum food basket increased by 130 UAH.
Ukrainians spend on food about 55% of their income. The cost of meat products amount to 306 UAH. People eat almost twice less meat than Europeans, – 52-53 kg vs 80 kg in the EU.
