Kilo 7 and a half Before the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan, the prices of poultry increased significantly, and increased one kilo of chickens by 10 pounds, and became sold in the market prices ranging between 30 to 33 pounds, which raised important questions, especially with the state's tendency to close the door of import due to insufficient supply Of chickens .
