Chicken Prices Drop After Festival Buyers See Relief

After the recent festival period, the poultry market has shown a clear shift, bringing some relief to households. A decline in demand has resulted in lower chicken meat rates, ending a long stretch of higher prices.

Latest Chicken Price Update

Market sources report:

  • Chicken meat price dropped by Rs. 29 per kg
  • New rate set around Rs. 497 per kg

This marks the first time in a while that chicken prices have gone below the Rs. 500 level.

Broiler Rates Also Down

The reduction is visible at multiple levels of the supply chain:

  • Live broiler farm rate around Rs. 315 per kg
  • Wholesale rate near Rs. 329 per kg
  • Retail rate approximately Rs. 343 per kg

These changes reflect a broader easing in poultry market pressure.

Egg Prices Also Reduced

Egg prices have also declined:

  • Farm eggs now being sold at around Rs. 250 per dozen
  • Traders attribute the fall to reduced post-festival demand

Why Prices Came Down

Traders say that after the festival, consumer demand dropped, leading to increased supply in markets. When buying slows, sellers adjust rates to keep stock moving.
