PAKISTAN- RISE IN MEAT AND POULTRY PRICES.
The prices of poultry products have touched their highest level yet because of reduced production and increased demand, poultry industry stakeholders say, according to Daily Times of Pakistan.
They explained that the prices of chicken had remained quite low during December and January due to the reduced consumption during the months of Muharram and Safar. It resulted in losses to farmers and closure of a number of poultry farms, they said, adding that the prices of chicken started rising in the first week of February and touched the 178 rupees (PKR) per kilo mark. The price of chicken meat on Thursday was PKR 174 per kilo, while chicken was sold for PKR 110 per kilo.
