LAHORE: Due to the improper supply, the price of broiler chicken price here in the provincial capital has increased by Rs21 per Kg within two days and was being sold for Rs170 per Kg as of Wednesday, Pakistan Today learnt. “I do not understand the reason behind increasing chicken prices during a lockdown. How will people survive if the prices are made higher under these circumstances?” Nasreen Hameed, a customer at a poultry shop said. “People are buying chicken in more quantity than before, fearing unavailability in the future. “Due to the ongoing lockdown, the production of broiler chicken is decreasing as compared to consumption, resulting in the price hike,” he said.
