September 21, 2023

Price of chicken is set to decrease by Rs. 100 per kilogram effective from midnight today. This significant reduction comes as a result of fruitful discussions between the Ministry of Agriculture and domestic poultry manufacturers.

The decision to lower chicken prices was made with the dual purpose of safeguarding the domestic poultry industry while offering consumers the opportunity to enjoy chicken at a more affordable rate.

These deliberations culminated in the agreement to reduce the cost of a kilogram of domestic chicken by Rs. 100, a move aimed at balancing the interests of both producers and consumers in the poultry sector.
