Mexico City's Market Prices Soar: Chicken Breast Costs Skyrocket Amidst Inflation Concerns

Mexico City's Market Prices Soar: Chicken Breast Costs Skyrocket Amidst Inflation Concerns Mexico City, May 31, 2025 – A recent report by Azteca Noticias reveals a sharp increase in the cost of essential goods at Mexico City's markets. The report, filmed in a bustling market, highlights the dramatic price surge of chicken breast, a staple in many Mexican diets. The price has jumped from $130 to $150 per kilogram in just one month, leaving many shoppers struggling to afford their groceries. "The price of chicken breast has literally flown away," says one vendor, Enrique Andrade, owner of a poultry stall. "It's a price we've never seen before. We only have small chickens now." Shoppers echo these concerns. "For three people, 1000 pesos barely covers the cost of meat, vegetables, and fruit," explains Adelaida, a housewife. This sentiment is shared by many interviewed in the market. The report also notes increases in the cost of other items like tomatoes and vegetables, although some items like beef showed slight price decreases. However, the overall cost of a basic basket of goods has risen significantly, impacting the budgets of countless families. Despite the challenges, the resilience of the market vendors and the community spirit evident in the market offer a glimmer of hope. The report concludes with a call for attention to the rising cost of living and its impact on Mexican families.
