&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Falling rates in March stumps industry in month synonymous with high prices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pune: &lt;/em&gt;Since February, Deepak Pawale, who runs a poultry farm at Retavadi village in Khed taluka of Pune district, has been selling 45-day-old birds weighing 2-2.5 kg each at well below his estimated production cost of Rs 70 per kg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The traders aren&amp;rsquo;t ready to pay higher rates, as they tell me that their sales have slowed down,&amp;rdquo; says this 38-year-old, who has been in the business &amp;mdash; of procuring day-old chicks (weighing roughly 40 grams) from hatcheries and rearing them for sale as young meat-yielding broilers &amp;mdash; since 2010. Pawale, who sells around 15,000 birds per month, claims to have made a loss of Rs 4 lakh in March alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That&amp;rsquo;s not surprising, given that broiler realisations averaged below Rs 54 per kg in March &amp;mdash; the lowest for this month in recent times. &amp;ldquo;If the rates remain at these levels, I will have to shut my farm. When my production costs have gone up from Rs 55-60 to Rs 70 per kg in the last two years, but realisations are falling, how can I sustain this business?&amp;rdquo; Pawale asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For poultry farmers like him, March is normally synonymous with high prices, compensating for lower realisations in other months. Demand for meat generally goes down during summer months, but prices improve because the birds take longer to gain the requisite weight for being &amp;ldquo;placed&amp;rdquo; (sold) in the market. &amp;ldquo;I place about 10-15 per cent less birds in March-May, but my realisations are about Rs 20/kg higher than for the other months,&amp;rdquo; explains Pawale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prasanna Pedgaonkar, deputy general manager of the Pune-based Venkateshwara Hatcheries Private Limited that markets poultry products under the brand name of Venky&amp;rsquo;s, attributes the low broiler rates to dip in consumption. &amp;ldquo;This time, the onset of summer has occurred earlier. That could be one of the factors behind consumption falling,&amp;rdquo; he notes. A city like Pune alone normally reports chicken meat consumption of 1-1.5 lakh kg per day, while that figure for Mumbai is around 10 lakh kg. An estimated three crore birds are placed in an average month in the whole of Maharashtra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, Rohit Pawar, chief executive officer of Baramati Agro Ltd, believes that the reasons for the dip in consumption go beyond seasonal factors. &amp;ldquo;There is a general economic slowdown that is clearly leading to lower consumption of non-vegetarian food. This is especially so with chicken, which is eaten by many, including those who are vegetarian in the normal course. But when the economy is not doing too well as incomes aren&amp;rsquo;t growing, these sections would be less inclined to consume the meat,&amp;rdquo; observes Pawar. His company places about 325 lakh birds annually, much of it by aggregating from contract broiler farmers who are supplied day-old-chicks along with nutritional feed, medicines and vaccines.&lt;br /&gt;

Pawale, who sells around 15,000 birds per month, claims to have made a loss of Rs 4 lakh in March alone.<br /><br />That&rsquo;s not surprising, given that broiler realisations averaged below Rs 54 per kg in March &mdash; the lowest for this month in recent times. &ldquo;If the rates remain at these levels, I will have to shut my farm. When my production costs have gone up from Rs 55-60 to Rs 70 per kg in the last two years, but realisations are falling, how can I sustain this business?&rdquo; Pawale asks.<br /><br />For poultry farmers like him, March is normally synonymous with high prices, compensating for lower realisations in other months. Demand for meat generally goes down during summer months, but prices improve because the birds take longer to gain the requisite weight for being &ldquo;placed&rdquo; (sold) in the market. &ldquo;I place about 10-15 per cent less birds in March-May, but my realisations are about Rs 20/kg higher than for the other months,&rdquo; explains Pawale.<br /><br />Prasanna Pedgaonkar, deputy general manager of the Pune-based Venkateshwara Hatcheries Private Limited that markets poultry products under the brand name of Venky&rsquo;s, attributes the low broiler rates to dip in consumption. &ldquo;This time, the onset of summer has occurred earlier. That could be one of the factors behind consumption falling,&rdquo; he notes. A city like Pune alone normally reports chicken meat consumption of 1-1.5 lakh kg per day, while that figure for Mumbai is around 10 lakh kg. An estimated three crore birds are placed in an average month in the whole of Maharashtra.<br /><br />However, Rohit Pawar, chief executive officer of Baramati Agro Ltd, believes that the reasons for the dip in consumption go beyond seasonal factors. &ldquo;There is a general economic slowdown that is clearly leading to lower consumption of non-vegetarian food. This is especially so with chicken, which is eaten by many, including those who are vegetarian in the normal course. But when the economy is not doing too well as incomes aren&rsquo;t growing, these sections would be less inclined to consume the meat,&rdquo; observes Pawar. His company places about 325 lakh birds annually, much of it by aggregating from contract broiler farmers who are supplied day-old-chicks along with nutritional feed, medicines and vaccines.<br /><br />Please <a href="http://indianexpress.com/article/india/poultry-farmers-cry-foul-egg-chicken-price-falling-5143152/" title="http://indianexpress.com/article/india/poultry-farmers-cry-foul-egg-chicken-price-falling-5143152/">click here</a> to read more.<br /><br /><br /></div>               </font>

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Falling rates in March stumps industry in month synonymous with high prices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pune: &lt;/em&gt;Since February, Deepak Pawale, who runs a poultry farm at Retavadi village in Khed taluka of Pune district, has been selling 45-day-old birds weighing 2-2.5 kg each at well below his estimated production cost of Rs 70 per kg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The traders aren&amp;rsquo;t ready to pay higher rates, as they tell me that their sales have slowed down,&amp;rdquo; says this 38-year-old, who has been in the business &amp;mdash; of procuring day-old chicks (weighing roughly 40 grams) from hatcheries and rearing them for sale as young meat-yielding broilers &amp;mdash; since 2010. Pawale, who sells around 15,000 birds per month, claims to have made a loss of Rs 4 lakh in March alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That&amp;rsquo;s not surprising, given that broiler realisations averaged below Rs 54 per kg in March &amp;mdash; the lowest for this month in recent times. &amp;ldquo;If the rates remain at these levels, I will have to shut my farm. When my production costs have gone up from Rs 55-60 to Rs 70 per kg in the last two years, but realisations are falling, how can I sustain this business?&amp;rdquo; Pawale asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For poultry farmers like him, March is normally synonymous with high prices, compensating for lower realisations in other months. Demand for meat generally goes down during summer months, but prices improve because the birds take longer to gain the requisite weight for being &amp;ldquo;placed&amp;rdquo; (sold) in the market. &amp;ldquo;I place about 10-15 per cent less birds in March-May, but my realisations are about Rs 20/kg higher than for the other months,&amp;rdquo; explains Pawale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prasanna Pedgaonkar, deputy general manager of the Pune-based Venkateshwara Hatcheries Private Limited that markets poultry products under the brand name of Venky&amp;rsquo;s, attributes the low broiler rates to dip in consumption. &amp;ldquo;This time, the onset of summer has occurred earlier. That could be one of the factors behind consumption falling,&amp;rdquo; he notes. A city like Pune alone normally reports chicken meat consumption of 1-1.5 lakh kg per day, while that figure for Mumbai is around 10 lakh kg. An estimated three crore birds are placed in an average month in the whole of Maharashtra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, Rohit Pawar, chief executive officer of Baramati Agro Ltd, believes that the reasons for the dip in consumption go beyond seasonal factors. &amp;ldquo;There is a general economic slowdown that is clearly leading to lower consumption of non-vegetarian food. This is especially so with chicken, which is eaten by many, including those who are vegetarian in the normal course. But when the economy is not doing too well as incomes aren&amp;rsquo;t growing, these sections would be less inclined to consume the meat,&amp;rdquo; observes Pawar. His company places about 325 lakh birds annually, much of it by aggregating from contract broiler farmers who are supplied day-old-chicks along with nutritional feed, medicines and vaccines.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Falling rates in March stumps industry in month synonymous with high prices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pune: &lt;/em&gt;Since February, Deepak Pawale, who runs a poultry farm at Retavadi village in Khed taluka of Pune district, has been selling 45-day-old birds weighing 2-2.5 kg each at well below his estimated production cost of Rs 70 per kg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The traders aren&amp;rsquo;t ready to pay higher rates, as they tell me that their sales have slowed down,&amp;rdquo; says this 38-year-old, who has been in the business &amp;mdash; of procuring day-old chicks (weighing roughly 40 grams) from hatcheries and rearing them for sale as young meat-yielding broilers &amp;mdash; since 2010. Pawale, who sells around 15,000 birds per month, claims to have made a loss of Rs 4 lakh in March alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That&amp;rsquo;s not surprising, given that broiler realisations averaged below Rs 54 per kg in March &amp;mdash; the lowest for this month in recent times. &amp;ldquo;If the rates remain at these levels, I will have to shut my farm. When my production costs have gone up from Rs 55-60 to Rs 70 per kg in the last two years, but realisations are falling, how can I sustain this business?&amp;rdquo; Pawale asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For poultry farmers like him, March is normally synonymous with high prices, compensating for lower realisations in other months. Demand for meat generally goes down during summer months, but prices improve because the birds take longer to gain the requisite weight for being &amp;ldquo;placed&amp;rdquo; (sold) in the market. &amp;ldquo;I place about 10-15 per cent less birds in March-May, but my realisations are about Rs 20/kg higher than for the other months,&amp;rdquo; explains Pawale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prasanna Pedgaonkar, deputy general manager of the Pune-based Venkateshwara Hatcheries Private Limited that markets poultry products under the brand name of Venky&amp;rsquo;s, attributes the low broiler rates to dip in consumption. &amp;ldquo;This time, the onset of summer has occurred earlier. That could be one of the factors behind consumption falling,&amp;rdquo; he notes. A city like Pune alone normally reports chicken meat consumption of 1-1.5 lakh kg per day, while that figure for Mumbai is around 10 lakh kg. An estimated three crore birds are placed in an average month in the whole of Maharashtra.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, Rohit Pawar, chief executive officer of Baramati Agro Ltd, believes that the reasons for the dip in consumption go beyond seasonal factors. &amp;ldquo;There is a general economic slowdown that is clearly leading to lower consumption of non-vegetarian food. This is especially so with chicken, which is eaten by many, including those who are vegetarian in the normal course. But when the economy is not doing too well as incomes aren&amp;rsquo;t growing, these sections would be less inclined to consume the meat,&amp;rdquo; observes Pawar. His company places about 325 lakh birds annually, much of it by aggregating from contract broiler farmers who are supplied day-old-chicks along with nutritional feed, medicines and vaccines.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>Falling rates in March stumps industry in month synonymous with high prices.<br />
<br />
Pune: </em>Since February, Deepak Pawale, who runs a poultry farm at Retavadi village in Khed taluka of Pune district, has been selling 45-day-old birds weighing 2-2.5 kg each at well below his estimated production cost of Rs 70 per kg.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;The traders aren&rsquo;t ready to pay higher rates, as they tell me that their sales have slowed down,&rdquo; says this 38-year-old, who has been in the business &mdash; of procuring day-old chicks (weighing roughly 40 grams) from hatcheries and rearing them for sale as young meat-yielding broilers &mdash; since 2010. Pawale, who sells around 15,000 birds per month, claims to have made a loss of Rs 4 lakh in March alone.<br />
<br />
That&rsquo;s not surprising, given that broiler realisations averaged below Rs 54 per kg in March &mdash; the lowest for this month in recent times. &ldquo;If the rates remain at these levels, I will have to shut my farm. When my production costs have gone up from Rs 55-60 to Rs 70 per kg in the last two years, but realisations are falling, how can I sustain this business?&rdquo; Pawale asks.<br />
<br />
For poultry farmers like him, March is normally synonymous with high prices, compensating for lower realisations in other months. Demand for meat generally goes down during summer months, but prices improve because the birds take longer to gain the requisite weight for being &ldquo;placed&rdquo; (sold) in the market. &ldquo;I place about 10-15 per cent less birds in March-May, but my realisations are about Rs 20/kg higher than for the other months,&rdquo; explains Pawale.<br />
<br />
Prasanna Pedgaonkar, deputy general manager of the Pune-based Venkateshwara Hatcheries Private Limited that markets poultry products under the brand name of Venky&rsquo;s, attributes the low broiler rates to dip in consumption. &ldquo;This time, the onset of summer has occurred earlier. That could be one of the factors behind consumption falling,&rdquo; he notes. A city like Pune alone normally reports chicken meat consumption of 1-1.5 lakh kg per day, while that figure for Mumbai is around 10 lakh kg. An estimated three crore birds are placed in an average month in the whole of Maharashtra.<br />

Poultry farmers cry foul -Parthasarathi Biswas

-The Indian Express Falling rates in March stumps industry in month synonymous with high prices.

Pawale, who sells around 15,000 birds per month, claims to have made a loss of Rs 4 lakh in March alone.

For poultry farmers like him, March is normally synonymous with high prices, compensating for lower realisations in other months. Demand for meat generally goes down during summer months, but prices improve because the birds take longer to gain the requisite weight for being “placed” (sold) in the market. “I place about 10-15 per cent less birds in March-May, but my realisations are about Rs 20/kg higher than for the other months,” explains Pawale.
