Chicken Prices Soar to Rs 300/kg in Telugu States; Egg Prices Drop
•Chicken prices in Telugu states have surged, with skinless chicken reaching up to Rs. 300 per kilogram, a significant jump from Rs. 250-260 previously.
•High demand, especially on Sundays, coupled with reduced poultry production due to bird diseases and rising summer temperatures, are cited as key reasons for the price hike.
•In Hyderabad, skinless chicken costs Rs. 290-300/kg, dressed chicken Rs. 260, and live birds Rs. 177 retail, Rs. 150 at farm level. Similar high prices are seen in Warangal, Asifabad, Kamareddy, and Vijayawada.
•Conversely, egg prices have decreased, with a tray of 30 eggs now costing Rs. 130-140 and 12 eggs for Rs. 60.
•The drop in egg prices is attributed to reduced exports due to global tensions (Iran-Israel) and increased domestic stock; chicken prices may fall if farm production recovers.
