KARACHI: Sources claim that due to a shortage of soybean meal, the prices of chicken and eggs are expected to rise exponentially in the near future.
According to media sources, the price of chicken is to rise to a whopping Rs 1000 per kilogram whereas the price of eggs shall be Rs 500 per dozen. This has been alleged to take place due to the shipments of soybean and canola, not being cleared at the seaport.
