The domestic chicken market is monopolized, therefore it is economically unprofitable for monopolists to sell chicken more cheaply in the domestic market in comparison with the export price of chicken.
 

This was announced by the President of the Association of Farmers and Private Landowners of Ukraine Ivan Tomych. 
The reasons for the rise in price of chicken meat in Ukraine are artificial, the expert said.
 

"Concerning the chicken, the reasons for its rise in price are artificial, since in Ukraine there is an increase in the production of this type of meat, but the main focus is on the external market, where, of course, the prices are European," stresses Ivan Tomych. 

The expert added that the domestic chicken market is monopolized, therefore, it is economically unprofitable for monopolists to sell chicken more cheaply to the domestic market compared to the export price of this meat, whereas pork shows the price at which it will buy. Of course, this is an artificial increase in price.

"For the rise in price in Ukraine, meat does not lag far behind salo. The price race was led by pork, and behind it was pulled up chicken and, accordingly, beef. Salo is proportionally associated with pork and beef ", - sums up Ivan Tomych.
