Chicken fillet has also experienced a significant increase in price. In March 2025, the average price for chicken fillet is 185 UAH per kilogram. In supermarkets, the price can range from 174 to 275 UAH per 1 kg, depending on the manufacturer. Over the year, the price of fillet increased by 27 UAH (17.08%).

It is worth noting that compared to March 2023, when fillet cost 140 UAH per kilogram, over two years its cost increased by 45 UAH (32.14%). The increase in the price of chicken is associated with the high cost of feed, as prices for grain and oilseeds continue to recover, which also affects the cost of meat production.

In general, although chicken prices in Ukraine have increased, demand for these products remains stable, which confirms the continuation of the trend towards an increase in the cost of meat in conditions of consistently high feed costs.
