Punjab food ministry has decided to ban the export of chicks in order to reduce the prices of broiler chicken.
Sources stated that the Livestock Department prepared a summary for the ban and sent it to the Punjab government.
Sources says that this ban can reduce the price of chicken by Rs 200 per kg, If something is in surplus, it is exported, but there is a complete shortage there.
They further claimed that chicken became expensive due to wrong policies in the previous administration in Lahore. Despite the shortage at the local level, the rates increased due to exports. It is important to mention that chicken has become expensive in different cities of the country.
