# Chicken prices rising, supplies low - AgriLife Today

> Texas A&M AgriLife economists report that wholesale boneless, skinless chicken breast prices have risen sharply, to $1.91 per pound from 93 cents a year earlier. Restaurant demand for specific cuts is outpacing supply even though overall chicken production is substantial. Higher feed costs are also cited as a factor in retail poultry prices.
