- Pork neck prices have fallen by about 1.50 euros per kilogram over the past month, while other cuts have also become cheaper.
- The decline reached shops after raw-material prices had begun rising, according to specialists at Lithuaniaโs Agricultural Data Centre.
- The timing could affect whether lower pork prices continue into autumn.
Pork became cheaper for shoppers in August. A kilogram of pork neck now costs about 1.50 euros less than it did a month earlier, while meat used for cutlets and steaks has also fallen in price.
The month proved favourable for pork lovers, but the price drop came with an unusual twist. Consumers saw cheaper meat only after the cost of the raw material had already started to rise.
Specialists from the Agricultural Data Centre explain why changes in raw-material prices can reach shops with a delay. Their assessment also points to what the current timing may mean for pork prices in autumn.
