Poultry Industry in Egypt: Rise in Prices of Chicken Meat
Published:June 22, 2017

Dr. Mahdi Foroughi. Thank you for your comment. As I said in my article, the broiler feed price increased from about 5000 EP to about 7000 EP as a result of the decrease in the value of the Egyptian currency.
Dear Dr. Virendra Kumar Pandey Thank you for your comment. I agree with you that the increase in price will slightly decrease the consumption but it is difficult to return to normal so we are obligated to cultivate most of the feedstuff, especially corn and soybean.
Dear Dr.Andrew Sivaram Thank you for your comment.I agree with you that DDGS can replace part of feedstuff used in feed formulation but to completely overcome the problem we have to cultivate corn and soybean.
Can it be possible to be advised on poultry grower feeds as we are planting yellow maize and sunflower in Lesotho. We are also concerned on prize hikes on poultry feed.

Selam Dear Mr Fhaled,
thanks for nice review on the current issue of poultry feed problem and the consequence of it on price of meat. I think the government should encourage the farmer to cultivate maize as well as soybean through establishing cooperative for crop cultivation and linking each cooperative to different poultry industries is a good option to minimize such problem beginning from cause roots.
