Chicken prices in Morocco continue to increase significantly, adding a new burden to consumers, since the price per kilogram reaches 26 dirhams in cities far from the New Kenitra axis, and 23 dirhams in areas close to Casablanca.
Although there are no traditional seasonal factors that increase demand, such as weddings or tourist activity, the question remains as to the reasons for this increase.
Consumer protection associations consider that the continued rise in poultry prices is due to the high prices of red meat, which encourage citizens to turn to white meat, leading to an increase in demand.
These associations requested government intervention to set price ceilings for red meat and poultry, based on Article 4 of the Law on Price Freedom and Competition.
This increase increases the suffering of Moroccan families who already suffer from the high prices of basic materials such as gas bottles.
