Poultry Association assures public… No eggs, poultry shortage expected this Christmas

THERE is not expected to be a shortage of eggs or other poultry products, a common concern around this time of the year, according to Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy.

In an invited comment, he told the Guyana Chronicle that the Guyana Poultry Producers Association has given an assurance that there will be no shortage, since supplies for the local market are expected to remain steady.
Earlier in the year there were shortfalls which led to a brief shortage of chicken in the country.
However, two months ago, Dr. Ramsammy stated that the Government will be taking action now to ensure that consumers do not have issues with high prices during the Christmas season. “We are working to ensure that there isn’t a shortage or significant increase in prices during that time,” he said, when asked then.
Producers usually look forward to December, which sees the highest consumption of eggs and other poultry products.
