Beef Prices in Germany Skyrocket to Record Highs

Beef prices in Germany have skyrocketed, with consumer costs for rindersteak now ranging from 40 to over 50 euros per kilogram. This marks an increase of more than 50% since the summer of 2023, outpacing general inflation.

The surge in beef prices can be attributed to several factors. Leading agricultural companies such as the Rinder Union West (RUW) eG and the PhönixGroup, which control significant cattle breeding and marketing operations, have played a role in driving prices up. Additionally, regional Brandenburg breeders, known for their competition-winning cattle, also contribute to the market dynamics.

Market consolidation among major firms, controlling an increasing share of influence in the stock market today, has further exacerbated the price hike. Young bull meat prices have now surpassed 7 euros per kilogram, reaching unprecedented levels.
