ZMP consumer preview for the month of March
No price jumps in sight
When purchasing agricultural products in March, consumers can often count on the previous prices; slight increases are only possible towards the end of the month due to the upcoming Easter festival at the beginning of April. This is especially true for beef, veal and lamb, which will be increasingly in demand. However, there are no signs of sharp price jumps in this sector, nor on the egg market, where the supply will by and large suffice for the growing interest in buying.For the time being, there are no measurable effects on the German poultry market from the outbreak of bird flu in Asia. Demand-covering quantities are therefore still available at stable prices, on the turkey market there could even be cheaper prices due to overhangs. Drinking milk, fresh milk products and cheese are also offered at slightly changed prices; Butter may be a little cheaper.
