The increases in meat prices have not stopped yet and values continue to increase in the region’s butcher shops. This newspaper carried out a detailed survey and the kilo of roast already exceeds $9,000 in several businesses in Neuquén, Cipolletti and Roca.
The devaluation of the official dollar to $800, the removal of subsidies and the end of careful pricing had a significant impact on the price of meat.
In Neuquén there was up to a $2,000 increase
Until Wednesday, the butchers of Neuquén reported making “micro-increases”, but finally, the 44% increase in the price of meat on the farm and the general increase in prices reached the butcher shops. The increases start at least $1000 and some cuts increased by $2000 in a single day.
“We try to fight the supplier, not the customer we see every day,” they explained. Despite this, they warned that Thursday’s increase would be greater.
The updates showed increases that start at $1,000 and some reach up to $2,000. Butchers demonstrated not knowing if they will have to update the price again on the day.
On Wednesday the average price of cuts such as the buttock, the rump and the roast cap was around $6,200, but that figure today already exceeds $7,000.
In Roca today more increases are expected
In Roca the roast already exceeds $9,000 and some butcher shops still have meat stored waiting this Friday for update values for increases in costs.
A butcher from the north of Roca who had the roast for $7,000 on Wednesday, yesterday had to increase it another $1,000.
“From yesterday to today it increased $1,000, like this every day. Customers pass by. “They don’t say anything but they don’t buy, they are resigned,” the merchant told this newspaper yesterday.
A refrigerator in the city indicated that the meat arrived but that it still cannot adjust prices because he had to pay almost double for freight.
“The truth is I have to change the price again because freight from $250,000 went to $450,000. Tomorrow the 10th I will know the price, but the roast is over $9,000,” he indicated.
In Cipolletti the barbecue rose more than 35%
In the Cipolletti butcher shops, a 20% increase was expected but this was exceeded. On Thursday the prices reflect an increase of 35%, they wait for the arrival of micro increases until the holidays.
The kilo of roast in the butcher shops in the Cipolletti neighborhood, costs approximately $9,000, while in wholesale stores the price is $7,500. There are those who choose to carry out cash promotions to provide an offer to their clients.
According to the survey carried out by Diario RÍO NEGRO, the most common cuts from Monday to Thursday are pulps and minced meat. These have a value of $6500 per kilogram. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the most requested are the matambre, vacuum and roast cuts.
“They did it before the party so that people would get used to it and not be so abrupt closer to these dates,” said the owner of Taurus, a Cipolletti butcher shop. In addition, he assured that cold cuts and sausages will also receive an increase of up to 20%.
