Prices for two popular types of meat have fallen in Russia

In September, two popular types of meat fell in price in large Russian grocery chains. RIA Novosti reports this with reference to data from the Association of Omnichannel Retail Companies (AKORT).

In the first month of autumn, retail pork fell in price by an average of 18 percent compared to the August figure, and lamb by 2.9 percent.

However, the retail price of the above types of meat on the domestic market still remains prohibitive for part of the population. Against this background, Russians began to switch to cheaper products. Thus, in January-June, turkey sales jumped by 17 percent year-on-year in physical terms.
