Compared to other years, the Easter table will be more expensive this year, as the prices of meat, fruit and vegetables have skyrocketed.
The battle for the price of ovelia has begun and butchers say they are trying to keep it at last year’s levels, averaging 14 euros/kg.
“We hope it will not exceed 14 euros, but we are surprised by the low prices below cost in some points of sale,” said Mr. Vassilis Delifilippides, press representative of the Butchers’ Association of Attica.
As the butchers explain, lambs and goats are sold by the breeder for 8 euros per kilo and with the extra one euro which is the price of the slaughterhouse, the butchers buy from traders for 10 euros per kilo, to sell to consumers for 14 euros per less.
The price hikes in fruit are bringing households to their knees
The price increases in food, and in particular in fruits, are what put “fire” in consumers’ pockets in the first two months of spring, as in some cases they reach up to 10%.
From INKA’s pricing, it follows that, at a festive table for 6 to 8 people, the products that will accompany the arrow this year will be more expensive. Some of these are fruits, sweets, alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer, and soft drinks.
