The supply of chicken on the market remains tight and price fluctuations have been reported by a vendor at the Stabroek Market.

Stabroek News on Tuesday spoke to a representative from the Massy Store located in Ruimveldt, the Bounty Supermarket and a vendor from the Stabroek market on the price per pound of chicken and how the prices have increased over the last month.

Seelwatie Sukool, a 51-year-old meat vendor of Stabroek Market told the Stabroek News that she buys whole chicken from different suppliers since chicken is scarce on the market. “I changed suppliers steady because the supply I would buy from, for example Mohammed’s Farm [Royal Chicken] will not have enough chicken to supply me to resell, so I will have to go out to different people and buy because one supplier can’t supply me.”
