The United Broilers Raisers Association said the farm-gate price for chicken had now declined to between P30 and P50 a kilo, forcing many raisers all over the country to stop operations. | kocampoINQ

There were also reports of road closures in the provinces by overly cautious residents, who dumped heaps of soil over pathways to prohibit the entry and exit of residents and outsiders.

“The DA , DILG , and the DTI have been very active with our concerns, but the problem is with the LGUs that are, in effect, very dismissive of national directives in the mistaken belief that if they do it on their own, they would be alright. But this is a mistake,” Inciong said. “Aside from the collapse of farm-gate prices, the behavior of LGUs has brought despair to our members that I have not experienced before. Most are cutting back on production. Some will just finish their current production cycles and stop their operations. We need to support those who plan to continue and discourage those who want to quit,” he said.
