Unable to run business owing to soaring prices of chicken, they say
Retail chicken merchants in Kozhikode district are likely to shut shop after Bakrid owing to soaring poultry prices. District office-bearers of the Kerala State Chicken Merchants Committee affiliated to the Kerala Vyapari Vyavasayi Samiti told reporters here on Monday that retailers were being “persecuted” by the public and officials for no mistake of theirs. They said poultry merchants procured chicken at a higher rate from farms in Tamil Nadu. “Since farms in Kerala are unable to meet the demand, we are forced to procure chicken from Tamil Nadu,” Mustafa Kinasseri, district secretary of the committee, said. Traders in Kozhikode procure broiler chicken at ₹130 or more per kg, while dressed chicken is sold at around ₹240, he added.
