The prices of fresh whole chickens in Bulgaria from 2010 to 2019 showcased fluctuations, with a notable rise between 2010 and 2012 followed by a downward correction when dropping to a low point in 2017. A minor recovery occurred in 2018, but the trajectory continued downwards, closing 2019 with modest pricing. Despite some variability, the five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) points to stable or declining prices. Year-on-year changes were more pronounced in earlier years but smoothed towards the end of the decade.
Looking towards 2024 and beyond, trends to watch include potential market stabilization or increases driven by inflationary pressures, shifts in consumer demand, or supply chain factors, which could significantly influence future pricing dynamics.
