Mysore/Mysuru: COVID-19 and bird flu scare have sent prices of poultry products plummeting with the bird meat being sold for as low as Rs. 110 per kg in Mysuru. "The sales have gone down drastically and we cannot return the chicken to farms, therefore we are forced to sell them at cheaper prices," said V. Ravi who owns BVR Chicken in Hebbal.
Just a week back, the prices of broiler chicken stood at Rs. 160 per kg and now it stands at Rs. 110 and skinless chicken that was being sold for Rs. 190 per kg is now being sold at Rs. 130 per kg, he said and added that he used to sell 30 to 40 kg chicken meat every day and now he sells just 10 to 15 kgs.
