Dubai: Prices of turkey in the UAE have dropped slightly since last Christmas as part of a general trend of price reductions for food. Turkey sales are going strong this year as consumers discover slightly reduced prices compared to last year, with a number of residents opting to buy the more costly fresh turkeys for the festive season.
"The price of frozen turkey has come down slightly from Dh17 per kilogramme last year to Dh14 this year," said V. Nandukumar, Manager of Corporate Communications at Lulu Hypermarket.
Fresh turkey is usually flown in by supermarkets during the season upon request, but retailers have started stocking small quantities in anticipation of demand during the season, when some prefer fresh turkey over frozen.
Turkeys that Lulu flew in from France are Dh55.45 per kilo and are moving well, he said.
