# Cameroon Poultry Farmers Urge Europe to Ease Trade Restrictions

> Cameroon poultry farmers and sellers held a protest at a Yaoundé chicken market, calling for looser trade restrictions imposed during COVID-19 and avian influenza.

The restrictions have more than doubled chicken prices, and most sellers have left the business.
