Poultry prices in Moroccan markets have seen a significant increase this week, with the price per kilogram reaching 20 dirhams in many sales outlets, causing outrage among consumers.
In a statement to Le Site info, a professional in the sector confirmed that prices in wholesale markets have reached 18 dirhams, noting that this sharp rise in prices is due to the increase in chick costs and the lack of controls. “The price of the chick has gone from 4 dirhams to 10 dirhams,” the source explained.
Social media users expressed their outrage at this situation, affirming that many households, especially those with limited incomes, have become unable to buy chicken. They called on officials to intervene in order to protect the purchasing power of consumers and regulate the prices.
