Rising cost of poultry feed and dip in production seen as reasons
The price of broiler chicken has registered a sharp increase over the last fortnight amid rising cost of poultry feed and a dip in production. From less than ₹200 per kg, the retail price of chicken is now touching ₹250 in most urban areas of the State including Mysuru. While sources in Karnataka Poultry Farmers and Breeders Association (KPFBA) in Bengaluru said the farm gate price of live chicken had increased from the earlier ₹90 per kg to ₹128 on Friday, a dealer of broiler chicken from Pandavapura claimed that the wholesale price was around ₹140 per kg.More Related News
