Industry officials confirm the information on price increases. So, for example, current price of broilers is up to 150 rubles, and a chicken fillet -up to 260 rubles. The National Meat Association says these prices are an annual record. A year ago, the price was 100 rubles for broilers & 150 rubles - fillet. Egg prices have increased by more than 40%. So in August it was 27 rubles, and now 65 rubles for a dozen.

The Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation declares that prices are rising for meat in general, and not only for chicken and eggs. In response to retail concerns about the prices of chicken and eggs, the Ministry of Agriculture replied that the prices for these products are increasing to the optimal level for autumn season.
