Poultry farms: The decreasing number of poultry farms raise fears that there might be a shortfall in the supply of poultry in the market, pushing the prices up further.
In the last week of March, marginal poultry farmer Delowar Hossain bought nearly 4,000 one-day-old Sonali chicks from a large poultry company. After rearing them for 40 days, when he tried selling them, he found it shockingly difficult to recover his production cost, let alone make any profit.
