It’s quite rare for this to happen, so we might as well emphasize it! Example with foie gras. Its price is down 5 to 6%. It won’t catch up with the consecutive increases in recent years, but it’s better than nothing. A consequence of the resumption of production in 2023, after years marked by episodes of avian flu which shook up the sector.
We will also note a drop in prices for poultry in general, for the same reasons. The price of oysters is also down, compared to last year marked by the ban on the marketing of oysters from the Arcachon Basin, due to a risk of food poisoning.
On the other hand, other flagship products are seeing their prices increase, such as chocolate or panettone; the first because of the rise in cocoa prices, affected by climate change, and the second following the rise in the price of butter and sugar.
According to a study by the eToro platformFrench households, who had the highest European bill for the Christmas meal last year, should see the bill drop by 28% on average this year. The cost of the traditional French meal consisting of stuffed turkey falling to 58.60 euros on average.
