The article highlights a significant increase in the prices of meat products in Belo Horizonte and the Metropolitan Region of Brazil, as observed from January to April of this year. The surge is attributed to the appreciation of the dollar and the rise in exports to China, with pork ribs seeing a 14.54% increase. Other pork products like pig feet, bacon, and ham also experienced price hikes. Beef and poultry products also became more expensive, with chicken being the most affordable but still out of reach for many. The article cautions that the situation is expected to worsen in the winter due to expected increases in the cost of meat production inputs. The variation in meat prices has led butchers to promote cuts that were previously low-cost, but now are included in special offers. Consumers are advised to research prices to mitigate the impact on their finances.
