Abstract: The article considers the peculiarities of pricing on meat products in a planned and market economy, there are advantages and disadvantages. In modern conditions of purchase prices of raw meat do not cover production costs, especially in beef cattle, where the return on investment does not exceed 83‰. Existing correlation between the prices of the producers, processors and sellers appeared in the conditions of a planned economy and were exacerbated in market conditions. It is possible to draw a conclusion on unbalance of economic interests of partner suppliers. In the pre-reform period, the government used a special price mechanism, allowing to regulate the relations of producers and processors of raw meat. On the basis of the analysis of prices and cost of production of meat products for 2000-2012, proposes measures to resolve the existing contradictions between the partners in meat production subcomplex. The developed price disproportion between the prices of forages and the prices the live mass of cattle can be solved gradually, in process of elimination of the main price disproportion of a meat subcomplex of agrarian and industrial complex - between the prices of the processed meat and meat raw materials.
