# Poultry Producers Union: breeders selling at a loss as prices fell 15% despite higher production costs

> Egypt's General Poultry Producers Union says farm-gate poultry prices have fallen about 15% since early October to around 73 EGP per kg, below a 75 EGP production cost. Feed prices have risen 8-9% due to currency links, and the union calls for import suspensions amid surplus output.
