Poultry producers in India are calling for a live chicken price of ₹110 per kilogram, citing rising feed costs and market pressures.
Poultry producers across the country have formally requested that the government set the live chicken price at ₹110 per kilogram. The demand comes amid escalating costs for poultry feed and a tightening supply chain that has pushed producers to seek higher prices.
Industry representatives argue that the current market rate does not cover the increased expenses they face, and that a price adjustment would help stabilize the sector.
The proposal is being reviewed by relevant authorities, who will weigh the impact on consumers and the broader economy before making a decision.
The poultry sector, which supplies a significant portion of the nation's protein intake, has been under pressure from both domestic and international market dynamics.
