"Kukhuree Kan" III

The news media continues to report on the growth of the poultry sector in Nepal. This time they are attributing the increase to the rise in consumption-- coming mostly from the record level arrival of tourists in the country.

Despite protracted power cuts and adverse industrial climate, the country´s poultry sector is set to register an impressive growth of 24 percent, recording turnover of over Rs 41 billion during the current fiscal year 2010/11, shows a projection report. --MyRepublica

It will be interesting to see how the sector copes with the increasing cost of feed and volatile supply of energy. As local farms start to grow these issues will seem paramount and vital to their existence. Also, the poultry entrepreneurs need to focus their attention on the supply chain--not just upstream but also downstream-- to stay competitive and flourish.

I posted an article a while back (CLICK HERE) that appeared in MyRepublica's Business & Economy section which discussed the surge in poultry production. The article pointed to the fact that the "investment in poultry sector has shot up by over 30 percent."

At the time I asked the question "Does this mean a price relief is on the way for consumers?" Well, the chickens have come home to roast (wink)! This article (CLICK HERE) from The Kathmandu Post provides the answer.

I remember when everyone flocked towards mushrooms, carpets, garments and now chicken...what's next? Herd mentality is alive and well!
