It is reported that the Union of National Livestock Producers has announced that there are preparations to import chicken meat due to the continuous rise in prices without price regulation.
Mr. Sujeewa Dhammika, convener of the National Livestock Producers Union, who spoke further.
“They are trying to pretend that there is a shortage of chicken meat and point the finger directly at the producer. In a few days, they will ask the consumer authority to issue a price gazette. As soon as the price gazette is issued, this product will collapse. They are still just passing the ball to the Animal Production Department. Doubts arise as to why the work is being done. Like the tax concessions on milk powder have been removed. Increase the tax concessions on the raw materials supplied to these products. If there is a high tax, remove it. Otherwise, bring some chicken meat. Immediately, the current price is the same as the price according to technical issues. Regulate. If the Department of Animal Production doesn’t fully intervene and solve it, the chicken farms will disappear from the country.
