Ajmer, July 23: The poultry industry at Ajmer in Rajasthan is hit hard by inflation.
Due to the increasing cost of poultry feed, it has become very difficult for the poultry farmers to run their business as they are facing severe losses.
Poultry farmers complain that the feed cost has increased two to three times in the past three to four months while the price of eggs have not increased in that ratio.
According to farmers, production cost per egg in today''s scenario amounts to one and a half rupee while it is sold for less than one rupee in the wholesale market.
