As analysts of the food market in Russia calculated, last month the cost of broiler chicken meat in domestic outlets continued the April trend of a slow but steady decline.
The price of a kilogram package of chilled or frozen broilers in May 2019 amounted to an average of one hundred forty-three rubles and ninety-one kopecks.
For clarity, it should be noted that a month earlier the same product in the same volume cost the consumer one hundred forty-four rubles forty-one kopecks.
In other words, for a month the meat of broiler chickens fell in price by three tenths of a percent, however, exactly one year before this (May 2018), the cost of broiler chicken was lower than the current level - by more than seventeen percent.
If we compare the May prices for this type of product with the price that was fixed on the Russian market in the early days of this year, we can say with confidence that there was a decrease in price by almost six percent.
It is noteworthy that broiler chicken meat is most expensive for those consumers of the Russian Federation who live in the Far Eastern Federal District: a kilogram of chicken in local retail outlets on average costs one hundred ninety-eight rubles thirty-four kopecks.
But buyers of the Volga Federal District have the opportunity to purchase a kilo of broiler meat at the lowest price in the Russian Federation - for only one hundred twenty eight rubles seventy nine kopecks.
