Peruvian consumers are facing a significant increase in the price of chicken and eggs, with the cost of chicken now ranging between S/ 10 and S/ 11.50 per kilogram, and eggs costing between S/ 9.80 and S/ 10.80. This price hike contradicts earlier predictions of a decrease in poultry product prices due to reduced cases of bird flu. The rise in poultry prices is attributed to the source of the meat, with some types costing more than others. In contrast, fish prices have seen a decrease, with Bonito now available for 7 soles per kilogram, down from 14 soles just weeks ago. The National Society of Industries (SNI) anticipates an 8.6% growth in fishing for direct human consumption this year, despite potential impacts of El Niño on sea conditions and fishing activity.
