In an inflationary grocery market, fresh pork cuts are a relative value proposition as other meat categories’ price increases outpace pork.
Fresh pork sales chalked up modest growth from June 2021 to June 2022, weighing in at $593 million in June 2022, up 1% from a year ago, according to IRI sales data. That compares to the total fresh meat category’s $6.7 billion in June 2022 sales (up 5.7% from 2021).
