Lower poultry prices benefit consumers and challenge farmers
The poultry market in several provinces has experienced a decline in prices due to increased supply and weak demand. The white meat price per kilogram has fallen to between 70 and 72 Egyptian pounds for consumers, which is below the production cost estimated at 75 pounds. This situation threatens the exit of many farmers from the industry due to ongoing financial losses. Experts anticipate an increase in prices in the medium term by the end of the year, driven by a decrease in the number of producers and a shrinking supply, despite limited exports that account for only 1% of total production. This decline puts pressure on farmers and threatens the sustainability of the sector, with prices expected to rise as the holiday season approaches if supply continues to diminish.
