Andhra Pradesh State Poultry Federation (APSPF) president K.V. Mukunda Reddy on Monday appealed to the State government to offer subsidy on maize, rice, and broken rice to manage the crisis in the poultry industry.
Addressing reporters at the press conference here on Monday, Mr. Mukunda Reddy claimed that the poultry industry has been witnessing a severe loss due to a steep rise in input cost and the plummeting of egg prices in the market.
“The feed production cost can be minimised if the State government offers subsidy on maize, rice, and broken rice. However, subsidy on electricity similar to what is offered to the agriculture sector can come to the rescue of the poultry industry,” said Mr. Mukunda Reddy.
