The Ethiopian poultry industry incurs 123 million Birr in losses because of the COVID-19 pandemic

Fourteen poultry farms under the wing of the Ethiopian Poultry Producers & Processors Association declared over 123 million Br in losses due to the changing economic and market conditions brought on by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Since the major consumers of chicken products, hotels, restaurants, and fast-food outlets are in complete or partial lockdown due to the pandemic, the demand has sharply decreased by half.
