The price of whole chicken and popular cuts was announced today, Saturday, November 16, 2026, in the new rate list. The price of regular whole chicken has reached 325,000 tomans, and the chicken market in mid-November is facing a significant difference between the price of whole chicken and packaged cuts.
Price differences in the chicken market
According to the latest price list, boneless chicken breast and fillet are recognized as the most expensive products in this market. Purchasing these cuts can incur higher costs compared to buying whole chicken for households.
According to the announced rates, the prices of some chicken products are as follows:
- Whole A-grade chicken: 525,000 tomans per kilogram
- Premium boneless chicken breast: 698,000 tomans per kilogram
- Boneless chicken breast: 660,000 tomans per kilogram
- Premium bone-in chicken breast: 658,000 tomans per kilogram
- Cleaned skin-on chicken thigh: 330,000 tomans per kilogram
Decrease in the price of whole chicken and important notes for buyers
Compared to the price of 330,000 tomans for whole chicken reported on Friday, November 15, the registered price for regular whole chicken today has reached 325,000 tomans. This indicates that the announced price for whole chicken in these two lists has decreased by 5,000 tomans. However, differences in the place of sale, quality, and product specifications can affect the final purchase price, and this comparison does not mean a uniform price decrease across all sales centers.
The price difference of chicken products is not limited to the type of cut, and factors such as net weight, quality, type of packaging, and storage conditions also play a role in the final price. Buyers should pay attention to the production and expiration dates, health seal, packaging integrity, and storage conditions when selecting packaged chicken. Fresh chicken should be stored at temperatures between 0 to 4 degrees Celsius, and frozen chicken at temperatures of minus 18 degrees Celsius or colder.
In a situation where the price of chicken cuts has a significant gap with whole chicken, comparing prices based on net weight and the amount of consumable meat can help households manage their food purchasing costs.
