The decrease in the price of chicken depends on the acceleration of the Ministry of Jihad in providing inputs

According to the economic reporter of Fars news agency, it was March of 1400 that the Islamic Council agreed to remove the preferred currency in the budget of 1401, after that the government removed the currency of 4,200 tomans in May 1401 and the inputs of poultry farmers, including feed, which were previously Government currency was imported, it was supposed to be imported with 28,500 Tomans.

On the other hand, the market regulation headquarters announced the price of chicken at 73,000 tomans per kilo to compensate for the increase in the price of inputs for poultry farmers, but these days, poultry farmers say that they are unable to provide inputs at an approved price and buy them from the open market at high prices.

Earlier, Habib Asadullah Nejad, the former CEO of the Nationwide Association of Meat Poultry Farmers of the country, said in an interview with Fars that the supply of inputs for poultry farmers is done from the black market at double the prices.

Today, the price of chicken is close to 100,000 tomans per kilo, chicken farmers say that the Ministry of Jihad does not provide the inputs on time and they have to buy from the open market at twice the price.

One of the chicken farmers told Fars: “With this increase in the price of inputs for chicken farmers, I don’t think the price of chicken will reach less than 80 thousand tomans, but definitely with the government’s support in providing inputs, we can hope to reduce the price of chicken to the approved rate.” ; After the targeted implementation of the subsidies, the input of 28,000 Tomans was supposed to be provided to the poultry farmers, but the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad is not doing enough and today many poultry farmers do not have the possibility of providing feed at the approved rate.

Poultry industry activists believe that the increase in costs is not only limited to poultry feed, other inputs such as day-old chicks, vaccines, etc. have also increased in price.

In this regard, Hamid Fazeli, the CEO of the specialized mother company for the development of the poultry industry, said in an interview with Fars reporter: “The approved price of a day-old chicken is 15,900 to 16,900 tomans, which chicken farmers buy for 24,000 tomans.”

It was yesterday that Nasser Fakhari, the CEO of Kausar Economic Organization, cited “statistical weakness in the chicken chain” as the reason for not accurately predicting price growth and preventing price growth.

According to him, after the amendment of the preferred currency, all experts emphasized that the price of chicken would increase, but it was less likely to reach 95 thousand tomans; The current price of chicken in the market, which is 95 thousand tomans per kilo, shows that their forecast was not very accurate and they could not predict such a price increase due to statistical weakness.

Therefore, chicken is one of the most demanded and effective protein products in the food basket of households, and the fluctuation of chicken prices in the market has a lot of reaction.

In this regard, the audience of Fars news agency also registered a campaign in Fars Man, asking: “to prevent the excessive increase in the price of chicken”.

The recorders of this survey wrote: While according to Jihad Keshavari officials, the price of chicken was supposed to decrease in May this year, not only this did not happen, but in July the price of live chicken in Tehran exceeded the approved price of slaughter chicken, which was announced at 73 thousand tomans. And its price is increasing day by day, we request the officials to at least prevent the excessive increase in the price of chicken by preventing the cutting of chicken, because the slaughterhouses have sold the chicken at a high price to the chicken cutting companies and caused the price of chicken. Please, the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture Wake up.

Fars news agency is waiting to receive and publish the explanations of the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad on the issue of providing inputs for poultry farms and the price of chicken in the market.
