RAWALPINDI: In a recent update, the chicken prices have gone through tremendous surge in all areas of Punjab. Severe cold temperatures have set in across the province effectively triggering a rise in chicken meat and egg prices.

According to details, the price of broiler chicken has surged to Rs780 per kg from Rs450 per kg in all of Punjab including Rawalpindi and the federal capital, Islamabad.

The chicken rate is not under the control of the authorities. It is being reported that a 40kg broiler chicken, which was sold at Rs13,000, has jumped to Rs17,000 as the mercury dropped.

Last month, the price for live broiler chicken was fixed at Rs. 280 per kilogram. The sudden surge in prices has raised questions regarding market dynamics and the availability of poultry products in the region.
