Meat becomes a luxury: beef, bacon, and pork are only available to the rich

The situation with meat prices in Ukraine continues to cause concern, as their cost is increasing, turning meat into an absolute luxury. Price monitoring on the Ministry of Finance platform confirms this trend.

Meat products have seen a significant rise in Ukrainian supermarkets. For example, beef, bacon, and pork sausage have become de facto delicacies for many Ukrainians.

Beef prices

Goulash today costs approximately 344.05 hryvnias per kilogram, which is 7.4 hryvnias more than it did last month. At the same time, the price of ribs has not increased so significantly – from 194.26 to 196.95 hryvnias per kilogram.

Pork sausage prices

The average cost of Yatran pork sausage has increased by more than 20 hryvnias to 592.73 hryvnias per kilogram. Baked pork with prunes has increased in price by 40 hryvnias; its current price is 674.16 hryvnias per kilogram.

Bacon prices

It was previously reported that dairy products, such as milk, kefir, and sour cream, have also become expensive for Ukrainians. The prices of sunflower oil and butter have also undergone significant changes. Ukrainians express concern about the rise in prices of basic food products such as sausage, bread, and cheese, which negatively affects their budget expenses.
