The demand for inexpensive semi-finished meat products such as nuggets, chebupels, and hotsters has doubled in Russia from January to August 2023 compared to the same period last year, according to a study by IT company ATOL. The average retail price of these products was relatively low, with nuggets priced at 190 rubles, chebupels at 132 rubles, and hotsters at 130 rubles. The increase in demand for these products can be attributed to the growing interest in ready-made meals and semi-finished products among the younger generation and the impact of inflation on consumer choices.
