Chicken develops wings, egg cracks under inflation pressure

The Hindu  

Chicken, an important non-vegetarian protein, seems to have flown off the plate of the common man, following the sudden spike in price. Though the price had dropped a little to ₹284 per kg for skinless chicken on Tuesday, it is still way higher than the earlier price of ₹220-230 per kg. Dressed chicken with skin hovered around ₹250 per kg, while retail live bird was available at ₹172 per kg. Usually, small farmers refrain from growing chicks during the two months as a precautionary measure, due to which the supply becomes scarce,” says P. Vidyasagar, a poultry farmer and businessman. The production cost of broiler chicken is hovering at ₹130 per kilogram, and any price obtained lower than that is not viable for the farmer.
