The poultry sector has called for a live chicken price of ₹110 per kilogram, urging authorities to adjust market rates.
The poultry industry has formally requested that the government set the price for live chickens at ₹110 per kilogram.
The demand follows growing concerns over rising feed costs and shrinking profit margins for poultry farmers.
Industry representatives argue that current market rates do not cover production expenses and jeopardise the viability of poultry operations.
They have urged the Ministry of Agriculture to intervene and revise the pricing framework to support producers, a proposal that will be examined in forthcoming policy discussions.
