ERS now predicts beef and veal prices will increase 5.5 to 6.5 percent in 2015.

Poultry prices were flat from March to April and are 3.1 percent higher year-over-year. ERS predicts poultry price inflation to continue near the historical average in 2015 and forecasts poultry prices to increase 2.5 to 3.5 percent in 2015.
