Chicken expected to cost more when ceiling price is removed on July 1

PUTRAJAYA: The price of chicken is expected to go up to around RM10 per kg after July 1 when the ceiling price is removed, says Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.

The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister said livestock farmer groups have told the ministry that even though chicken prices will increase, they have given their assurance that it will not go up exponentially.
