The Commerce Ministry is putting chickens and chicken meat on the state price control list and rolling out more stringent measures for chicken raisers and slaughterhouses as well as feed meal factories, requiring them to declare their sales costs and stocks as part of efforts to deal with surging food prices.
Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit, who chaired the online meeting of the Central Committee on Prices of Goods and Services on Wednesday, said the panel approved the inclusion of chicken and chicken meat on the list and will propose the move to the cabinet next Tuesday.
