# Poultry industry hit hard in Mysuru

> Poultry demand in Mysuru, India, has fallen steeply as COVID-19 anxiety and a bird flu scare led consumers and hotels to avoid chicken and eggs. Wholesale egg prices fell from an average of ₹408 per 100 in 2019 to ₹340, and some retailers sold below purchase cost.
