Price reduction for chicken in Ukraine at the end of 2025
At the end of 2025, a significant reduction in chicken prices was recorded in Ukraine. Wholesale prices for chicken carcasses have dropped to 85-90 UAH per kilogram, which is 20% lower than summer levels. This trend indicates changes in the meat product market that may influence consumer demand.
According to data, the wholesale price for chicken carcasses decreased from 110 UAH to 85-90 UAH per kilogram. In retail, a chicken carcass costs about 99 UAH per kilogram. Additionally, chicken fillet has decreased to 171 UAH per kilogram. This price reduction may be associated with a number of factors such as:
- increased supply at the end of the year
- power outages
- weakened demand
Impact on consumer sentiments
Experts, including Natalia Saikivska, note that the decrease in wholesale prices may positively affect consumer sentiments by offering consumers more affordable prices on meat products.
These market changes may become an important factor for consumers planning purchases for the upcoming holidays and events. - Natalia Saikivska
The decrease in chicken prices in Ukraine indicates new economic realities in the meat product market, which may change consumer behavior. More affordable prices may stimulate demand, especially during holidays when purchasing activity traditionally increases. Thus, these changes may have both a positive impact on household budgets and on the overall state of the consumer goods market in Ukraine.
