According to Khabaronline news agency, the secretary of Poultry Federation said: Considering the per capita consumption, monthly hatching of 110 million pieces is sufficient.
Young Journalists Club wrote: Seyed Farzad Talakash, Secretary of the Poultry Federation, referring to the increase in production costs in the poultry industry, said: about 1.8 to 1.9 kilograms of feed is used to produce each kilogram of chicken meat, and according to the current price of inputs, the cost of feed alone to produce each kilogram of chicken meat exceeds 80,000 Tomans.
He added: Taking into account other production costs and about 10% losses, the finished price of each kilogram of chicken meat reaches more than 260 to 270 thousand tomans.
Pointing to the decrease in the consumption of chicken meat among households, Talakash said: the amount of people’s consumption has decreased as a whole, and last month, the amount of production of about 18 to 20 million pieces was less than the previous months. For this reason, the effects of this reduction in production will continue to be visible in the market.
The Secretary of the Poultry Federation continued: Considering the increase in production costs, the price of 400,000 Tomans per kilogram of chicken meat cannot be considered unreasonable. Because the production costs and conditions governing the poultry industry should be considered in the market price analysis.
He further said about the latest situation of chicken exports: the political conditions of the region and the increase in logistics and transportation costs have made it difficult to export this product. So that during the last three months, the export plan has not been realized and about 6,500 tons of exports have not been carried out.
Talakash, presenting suggestions for the management of the chicken market, stated: Considering the per capita consumption and the market conditions, the monthly hatching of 110 million chickens meets the country’s needs and should not exceed this amount. Also, reforming the Kalaberg mechanism to protect consumers should be on the agenda.
In another part of his speech, the Secretary of the Poultry Federation pointed out the situation of providing livestock inputs and the problems of poultry farmers and said: “The government has not effectively helped the producers in this area, and the price of inputs is facing a significant increase day by day or every few days.”
He pointed out that the continuous increase in the price of inputs in a situation where producers are facing a lack of liquidity has put a lot of pressure on poultry farmers and has made it difficult for them to continue operating in this situation.
