Chicken and Egg Prices Plummet: Relief for Consumers as Rates Drop Significantly

• Chicken and egg prices, which had soared last month, are now significantly declining, offering relief to consumers.
• Chicken prices, previously reaching Rs. 300/kg, have dropped to Rs. 140/kg for live chicken and Rs. 220/kg for dressed chicken.
• Egg prices have fallen from a high of Rs. 9 per egg to Rs. 6, with further drops anticipated due to increased production.
• Increased production from over 500 poultry farms and a slight decrease in consumption are cited as key reasons for the price reduction.
• The return to normal prices makes chicken an affordable non-vegetarian option, especially as fish and mutton remain expensive.
