In January 2022, U.S. meat prices grew tangibly compared to January 2021: beef prices soared by 30%, pork by 11%, turkey gained 18%, and broiler prices skyrocketed by 62%. Due to rising feed costs, prices are set to accelerate, spurred by low hay stocks.LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In early 2022, U.S. meat prices continue rising, according to a new report from market research company IndexBox. Wholesale prices for boxed select beef cutouts reached $270 per cwt, rising by 6% from December 2021 to January 2022. Over the same period, pork cutouts prices grew by 3% to $89 per cwt, while broiler prices picked up 7% to $133 per lb. By contrast, turkey prices decreased by 1.5% to $128 per lb.
Compared to the same period of 2021, wholesale beef prices grew by 30% in January 2022. Pork prices rose by 11%, and turkey prices increased by 17%, while broiler prices saw a massive jump over the last year, surging by 62% against January 2021.
IndexBox forecasts that meat and poultry prices will moderately grow in the coming months due to the expected rise in feed cost. Notably, U.S. hay stocks hit a 10-year low in December 2021, as the production sharply reduced due to continuing drought in the U.S. Western regions.
