Poultry farmers want an increase from around ₹4 to ₹12 a kg.
After more than a week of disruption in chicken trade over a dispute over increasing minimum price for poultry farmers, supply in the State is stabilising even as chicken price is expected to go up marginally in the coming days.
The poultry farmers, who have a contract with poultry companies as “integrated poultry farmers” had refused to lift new hatchings and had disallowed the companies to lift birds for supply to the market, are demanding an increase in minimum price from around ₹4 to ₹12 a kg. However, after a mediation by the Animal Husbandry Department officials where an interim rise of ₹7.5 per kg was accepted, the supply is being normalised.
