# Sharp rise in prices of chicken  - The Hindu

> Broiler chicken prices in Karnataka have risen sharply over the past fortnight, with retail prices moving from under ₹200 to about ₹250 per kg. Farm-gate live bird prices rose from ₹90 to ₹128 per kg. Producers attribute the increase to higher soya and maize feed costs and reduced flock output after lockdown losses.
