High price of chicks
Hatchery owners have been charging very high prices of chicks for the last couple of months and that pushed poultry egg and bird prices exorbitantly high. As a consequence, thousands of SME poultry farms could not make sustainable profit and a good number of those are facing closer. We have been observing for a few months that a handful of hatchery owners who invested heavily, in connivance with one another, are charging Tk 70.00 for a chick.
In fact, if business ethics is followed the price of a chick should not be more than Tk 20.00.
