Chicken prices in Peshawar has increased dramatically, with a live chicken per kilogram costing Rs490. This increase is due to a rise of Rs20.
As a result, chicken flesh has become more expensive, with a kilogram now costing Rs735.
Peshawar traders blame rising feed, chick, and energy expenses among other things for the ongoing increase in chicken prices. The market prices now represent the whole cost of producing hens, which has been greatly influenced by these higher expenditures.

Moreover, the dealers also mentioned that the rates in Punjab had an impact on the cost of chicken in Peshawar. The present price spike is further compounded by the fact that Peshawar experiences a matching increase in pricing whenever there is an increase in chicken prices in Punjab.
Peshawar residents are concerned about the ongoing increase in chicken prices since it has a direct impact on their daily budgets. The rising price of this essential source of protein is making it increasingly difficult for people to stick to their food budgets.
