Beef Prices Dip Again as Consumers Face High Costs

Cattle prices for beef have taken a second consecutive dip, with consumers feeling the pinch at the till. Calm meat sales and pressure from butchers have contributed to the decrease, while consumers grumble about high prices for beef dishes like burgers and doners.

The supply of slaughter cattle remains tight, with some items scarce at the wholesale market. Despite this, the association price for cattle of all categories has fallen by 10 cents/kg. However, consumers are still paying 20.8% more for beef compared to last year, with the most expensive delivered doner in Germany reaching 9.77 euros per piece in Flensburg. Meanwhile, cattle slaughter in Germany is lagging behind last year's levels, leading to increased beef imports. Experts warn that rising calf and beef prices, along with escalating wage and energy costs, could soon push the price of a beef doner to an unprecedented 10 euros.

The recent decrease in cattle prices offers some relief, but consumers are still grappling with higher beef costs. As cattle slaughter remains low and import levels rise, the future price of beef dishes like doners remains uncertain.
