In 2021, prices further increased and the index reached an all time high of 125.4 index points in June of 2022, a few months after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Since then, the index has fluctuated and came to 117.7 in January 2025.

* The source notes: "Meat Price Index: Based on 35 average export unit values/market prices of four meat types (bovine, pig, poultry, and ovine) from 10 representative markets. Within each meat type, export unit values/prices are weighted by the trade shares of their respective markets, while the meat types are weighted by their average global export trade shares for 2014-2016. Quotations for the two most recent months may consist of estimates and be subject to revision."
