KARACHI: The prices of chicken and chicken meat have significantly increased in Karachi and other cities throughout the country.
Currently, a kilogram of chicken costs Rs490 in Karachi, whereas a kilogram of chicken meat costs Rs720.
Due to a feed scarcity, some chicken enterprises had to close, which led to this price increase.
Owners of chicken businesses have suggested that this is the cause of the soaring costs; in Karachi, a kilogram of poultry meat may be purchased for up to Rs720.
In Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and some other cities, the price of chicken has also reached an all-time high, with a kilogram of poultry meat being sold for Rs700-705.
In contrast, the cost of chicken meat in Lahore, Pakistan’s second-largest city, ranges from Rs550 to Rs600 per kilogram.
Many customers, who depend on chicken as a main source of protein, are concerned about these growing prices.
A substantial impact on Pakistan’s food security and economic stability might result from any disruptions in the supply chain of the poultry sector, which is a key component of the nation’s economy.
