There are tons of variables that influence the price.
Are the chicken breasts fresh? Frozen? Local? Imported? With or without the skin? Bigger company or shop brand? Which shop?

What’s the explanation for price variance within EU countries?
I understand that supermarkets and their logistics cost more in richer countries… but that shouldn’t be a 100% difference.

Chicken breast pricing is such a weird thing to use for market analysis. In Portugal you can get a whole chicken by that price, of course the breast is expensive, it is wasteful to buy a single breast if you think about it…

The Dutch price is wrong. I buy mine for 8 euro per KG at the Makro.

I’m not finding any chicken breast for 12.87€/kg in Norway. Maybe if you’re buying frozen in bulk. The normal price is more like 17 – 25 €.

Austria price like this would be at Billa, for branded “fair to animals” chicken breasts, slovak price is correct and czech price is completely nonsensical, should be same, slightly lower than slovakia.
Numbeo is fine for some general cost of living stuff, but for this it is braindead.

You can find import chicken breast for about €14 per kilo in Switzerland.

For the record, 🇭🇺 Hungary’s currency is the forint (even 21 years after joining to the EU), 1€ = 400 Ft, and the populist government is holding down the price of many things (pe. of chicken beast as well) like it was in the communism (era of “the happiest barrack of the USSR”) aka “price cap”, so we cannot be happy being at the first third of the list.

Hey, quick question, where the hell do you find this 8.33€/kg chicken in Denmark? Rural Jutland?

I wanna know where you are finding a kg of chicken that cheap in the UK? 300g would be around 4€ minimum, and it’d be crap chicken at that.

It’s good for them to be more expensive. Animal suffering shouldn’t be commodified to be as cheap as possible.

For Estonia the right number would be bit less than 7€. That’s chicken breast imported from Latvia or Lithuania. 8,27 would be domestically grown chickens, or more recently, about 9€/kg.

Btw Sweden doesn’t have any hens in cages, despite being no law against it.
Slovenia seems about right. I could go to the store and buy kg of chicken breast for 8.99€, bred and butchered in Slovenia. Major chains have it at 10€ and when on sale it can go to around 6€.
I’ve also seen it go as low as 3€, but that was some random chicken from poland.

The prices in Czechia are insane; the Czechs should do something about it. The wages there are like Eastern Europe, but the prices are like Western Europe?

This is complete bullshit. Czechia is like 5-6€/kg of chicken breast.

I moved the family to Zurich in Switzerland for some time during covid. We had to escape the full lockdowns in Ireland. Living in a country town and having police stopping you running or biking further than 5km was bothersome.
The meat prices were a shock. I usually eat 1kg of meat a day, and I had to cut this down drastically.
The quality of the meat itself was really good.
We ended up just eating less meat. It was actually good for a change.
