"eggs"

The recent bird flu outbreak has raised safety concerns in the country with people being confused about whether to consume the poultry or not

Amid reports of the bird flu outbreaks, a series of measures have been initiated by the states in the last few days that included large scale culling of the birds, checks at borders to stop the entry of poultry and issuing advisories on safe consumption of eggs and chicken.

The government had introduced a plan to serve eggs to students in government schools on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to ensure they receive nutritious meals. However, suppliers have halted egg deliveries for the past three weeks due to a rise in egg prices. While the government provides Rs 5 per egg, the market price has increased to Rs 7 each.

Traders are exploiting the situation by raising prices. While some are selling eggs for Rs 6.16 to Rs 7 each, others are charging up to Rs 8 per egg. Despite traders setting their own prices, no government department is intervening. Normally, eggs are priced between Rs 5.30 and Rs 6, with slight increases occurring only in exceptional cases, such as large-scale deaths of layer birds due to disease or extreme weather conditions in summer.

As per the new zonal system introduced in May, owners of poultry farms can drop tenders to supply eggs if they have the production capacity of 40 percent out of the requirement.

The report added that onions are being sold for between 230 and 250 PKR per kg against the government's fixed rate of PKR 175 per kg.
