But meat prices have gone up significantly over the same time period. This past year, pork, chicken, beef, and other meat products have increased significantly.聽The Agri-Food Analytics Lab at pilipili漫画, in partnership with BetterCart Analytics, compared prices of animal protein-based products with available vegetable-protein analogs, also known as plant-based alternatives.
