Chicken and egg prices continue to rise – check rates

FAISALABAD: Like other cities in Pakistan, the prices of chicken and eggs continue to rise in Faisalabad.

According to the latest data, broiler chicken meat is now being sold at Rs 670 per kilogram, while clean meat has crossed Rs 750 per kilogram. Broiler farm prices are fixed at Rs 383, wholesale at Rs 397, and retail at Rs 411 per kilogram.

Farm eggs have also become more expensive, now selling at Rs 360 per dozen.

The rising prices of basic food items are putting heavy pressure on household budgets, making it difficult for the poor and middle class to meet daily needs. This situation has also become a concern at the social level.

The business community says that the price increase is due to reduced production, lower supply, and rising market costs.

If this trend continues, the availability of chicken and eggs may become even more limited, which could further increase inflation in the country.
