Chicken meat is selling for between Rs.680 and Rs.690 per kilogram in Karachi, with prices varying across different parts of the city.
Rising chicken prices have added to the financial pressure on consumers already struggling with the increasing cost of everyday essentials.
Prices differ significantly between neighborhoods and markets, with some retailers reportedly charging varying rates, particularly in more affluent areas.
On the other hand, shopkeepers attribute the increase to higher poultry feed prices and rising transportation costs.
They also say demand for chicken has increased during the wedding season, contributing to the upward pressure on prices.
