Azimi announced that “the current monthly production of chicken meat in the country is 250 to 260 thousand tons; however, 230 to 240 thousand tons are consumed by the domestic market therefore, the surplus of production should be collected from the domestic market for strategic target or will be exported to target markets.”
He announced that the total amount of chicken exports since the beginning of the year, including the current permits, is 30,000 tons and said: "By the end of the year, 10,000 tons of chicken should be exported to the target markets by the end of the year in order to regulate the market, so that the downward trend in the price of chicken and the farmers’ loss will not continue."
