Import embargo, high prices: Poultry association announces nationwide protest on Jan 5
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Poultry Association on Tuesday announced countrywide protest against continuous increase in prices of broiler chicken on Jan 5.
The association’s spokesperson said their members would assemble at Thokar Niaz Baigh and stage protest for the acceptance of their demands. He said the poultry feed had almost vanished from the local markets because of unannounced restriction on the import of soybean and other raw material.
According to the spokesperson, raw material-led ships had been paying $400,000 daily penalty for the last two and half months.
Meanwhile, the per kg price of broiler chicken meat reached Rs524 after an increase of Rs5 per kg in Lahore and other parts of Punjab.
