For the first time, sales of pre-packaged products have exceeded sales by the kilo, achieving a share of 57 per cent, in terms of value.

Among products sold by the kilo, the average price of poultry products was HUF 858 in March-April, showing an increase of 17 per cent compared to the same period a year earlier. The price of pork products has only grown by 10 per cent in the same period. The market share of private labels has grown to 25 per cent, from 20 per cent measured a year ago.
