Chicken prices have seen a sharp rise in most national markets, with the price per kilogram surpassing 20 dirhams.
Many citizens have voiced their deep dissatisfaction on social media, using the occasion of the Prophet’s birthday to express their outrage over this unexplained price hike.
Professionals have reported that wholesale chicken prices have reached 20.50 dirhams, while consumers are facing prices up to 21 dirhams.
Stakeholders believe this increase is due to higher demand resulting from numerous weddings and parties, despite the harsh climatic conditions and rising temperatures in the country.
