# Bird flu: Business takes a hit in infected zone of Bhubaneswar

> A one-kilometre restocking ban on poultry has been imposed around Orissa University of Agriculture & Technology in Bhubaneswar after bird flu was detected, with birds culled in local markets. Vendors say culling compensation is below purchase prices and the 90-day restocking ban is hurting their businesses.

## Why it matters

The localised culling and 90-day restocking ban reduce poultry supply and trade in one Indian city, a small regional effect with limited impact on national or international feed and poultry prices.
