Costly chicken due to ASF outbreak, humidity–report

Quick Summary:

The outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) and supply disruptions caused by humidity have resulted in more expensive poultry meat in Metro Manila, according to the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD).

PCAARRD said the government has intensified biosecurity measures to address the persistent risks of bird flu, especially in high-humidity environments.

On August 24, PCAARRD said the price of chicken went up by almost 19 percent to P240 per kg, from P202 per kg a month earlier.
