Chicken sales have slumped across Andhra Pradesh since the start of Karthika Masam on November 10, as many Hindus and Ayyappa devotees abstain from non-vegetarian food. Retail chicken prices have eased from about ₹290 to around ₹260 a kg, while mutton remains steady at ₹850 a kg but with fewer buyers and fewer sheep reaching markets.
Lower seasonal demand for chicken in a major Indian market weakens poultry prices and reduces feed-grain and meal demand from domestic producers until the month ends around December 10. The effect is regional and seasonal, with limited impact on global feed commodity prices.
