Inflation continues in 2023 with no real end in sight due to the rising prices of meat, ingredients, gas, wages, electricity, etc. The 2023 Jerky Price Update contains a mixed bag, but for the most part, the price of jerky went up in 2023. Every year we expand the number of jerky makers included for each type of jerky to get a better gage of the price. Seventeen types of jerky prices were updated in 2023. For the second year in a row, 300 jerky makers were used to determine the cheap, average, and expensive beef jerky brands in the 2023 and 2022 jerky price updates.
As part of our annual commitment to update the cheap, average, and expensive prices in the jerky industry, we introduce our seventh annual 2023 jerky price ranges update.
Here is a summary of what changed in 2023.
- Beef jerky per ounce increased by 8 cents and the average price range expanded by 18 cents
