IRAN – The CEO of Kerman province Poultry Union declared: “From May – June of this year up to now, around 16 thousand tons of chicken has been exported to Iraq.”
According to Kerman Central Radio News Agency, Mr. Hassan Mehdi – The CEO of Kerman province poultry Union pointed out that the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad, Poultry Farmers' Union and the Association of Chicken Meat Production Chains in the country have given permission to export about 20 thousand tons of chicken.
Meanwhile he affirmed that the average chicken consumption in Kerman province is about 180 – 200 tons/daily and the average production is 220 tons.
He also declared chicken accumulation by adding that: “For the first time, sustainable export of chicken by Agriculture Jihad Ministry is being raised which will be affective on the regulation of market. We have 3 million hatchlings per month in Kerman province, which is a 10% increase compared to the previous year.”
“Consultations have been held through the Chamber of Commerce of the province and the Agricultural Jihad Ministry with the joint chamber of Iran and Afghanistan, and negotiations are also planned with Pakistan so that the export of chicken from Kerman to this country will start as soon as possible.”
“Due to the accumulation and decrease in demand in the market, the price of chicken has decreased and the producer loses an average of 3 to 4 thousand Tomans per piece of chicken, and if it is not dealt with in time, this will cause a decrease in hatching.” He continued.
