Some turkey producers, including Cherkizovo, have warned of a possible 6.5% rise in turkey prices since early September. About it informed Kommersant with reference to the notification of the director of Trade House Cherkizovo Oleg Zakov to partners dated July 31.
It is assumed that the manufacturer will increase the selling price of turkey from September 4 by an average of 6.5%. The changes will affect the products of both the Cherkizovo brand and retail chains’ own brands. Vkusville confirmed that they had received a notification from the manufacturer. In other retail chains, including X5 (includes Pyaterochka, Crossroads, Chizhik), Magnit, Metro, Azbuka Vkusa, and others, declined to comment.
The reason for the price increase was the growing costs of logistics (+10%), hatching eggs (+19%), packaging (+20%) and wages to employees (+19% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last years), In addition, the cost of equipment and spare parts led to a twofold increase in the cost of the production process, Kommersant writes.

According to the newspaper, a turkey in June cost an average of 446.61 rubles. per 1 kg, the selling price was 320–340 rubles. per 1 kg thigh and breast fillet. The President of Agrifood Strategies, Albert Davleev, claims that over the year the growth was about 10-12%.
