BIRATNAGAR: Jhapa poultry farmers demonstrated by throwing chickens and eggs on the road.
They demonstrated by throwing chickens and eggs at Mukti Chowk in Birtamode, claiming that their eggs and chickens were not being sold.
While the government claims that Nepal is self-sufficient in the poultry sector, they claim that the government is unable to manage the market for the produced chicken.
They complain that when eggs and chicken meat purchased cheaply from farmers reach the market, consumers are forced to pay exorbitant prices, creating a situation in which middlemen profit.
They abandoned the chickens and eggs on the streets, claiming that the government did not provide any relief to poultry farmers despite the fact that bank interest rates were rising.
