Craigmore says beef prices surge to nearly 150% above 2010, outpacing wheat gains
  • Craigmore Sustainables Group LP analysis flags a widening gap between protein and grain markets, with beef and dairy prices sharply outperforming wheat.
  • Global wheat prices peaked in 2022 near 3x 2010 levels, then fell to about 20% above 2010 as supply responded.
  • Beef prices climbed to almost 150% above 2010, driven by tight supply as US drought cut the cattle herd to its lowest since 1965.
  • Dairy whey protein prices surged about 400% since 2020, reflecting stronger demand for protein ingredients and supplements.
  • High-protein diet trends, including GLP-1 drug adoption since 2023, could keep protein prices elevated even if production rises.
