$9,000 Jerky Reviewed

It took almost eleven years to review $9,000 worth of jerky. The biggest complaint that people have about jerky is that it’s expensive. While there are cheaper brands of jerky out there, good quality jerky can be expensive. Keep in mind that jerky loses 50% to 75% of its weight due to moisture evaporating during the drying process. Of course, the best way to get around the expensive price of jerky is to make your own homemade jerky. However, even homemade jerky is not all that cheap either with the price of meat lately.

Since we started tracking jerky prices in 2017, the price of beef jerky remained relatively consistent until 2022. In 2023 and 2024, the price of jerky continued to rise.

We here at Jerky Ingredients have seemed to set the jerky industry standard with jerky prices. A fact that we are proud of and work hard towards.

The figure of $9,000 worth of jerky reviewed is misleading. The actual figure would be much higher, where the $9,000 only includes unique bags of jerky reviewed. If, for example, a jerky maker submits or we purchase two 3 oz bags of the same flavor, then that only counts as one 3 oz bag. If, for example, a jerky maker sends us one 3 oz bag and one 1 oz bag of the same flavor, that does count as two bags reviewed. There needs to be something unique about the bag, whether the bag size is different, the bag design has changed, or the jerky has been reformulated.

We are proud of offering great exposure, giving the opportunity to get each and every jerky brand known to the market and community in this now estimated to be 4.5 Billion Dollars annual sales dried meats industry in 2024. The jerky industry has a broad presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Generally, jerky makers with high social media activity have good to great tasting jerky.
