On Saturday, December 14, 2024, six leading poultry companies in Egypt increased the selling price of chick by 1 to 2.5 pounds. The price hike ranged from 2.5 pounds at Cairo Poultry, 2 pounds at Wadi and Newgen, 1.5 pounds at Al-Wataniya, 1 pound at New Hope Egypt and Al-Qasabi. The prices remained stable at other companies due to the suspension of production at Rawad Al-Nil for over two months. The annual production of chicks in the local market is approximately 1.4 billion. The current selling prices range from about 32 pounds at Al Wadi to 42 pounds at Tanboul.
