The prices of poultry and eggs have slightly risen as the demand grows amid Covid-19 fears, according to the Myanmar Livestock Federation (MLF), state media reported.

MLF has affirmed that there is no need for people to be concerned with the possible shortage of poultry and eggs in the internal market during the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet, the rising demand drove the price up.

The eggs are currently priced around K2,200-2,500 per viss (a viss equals to 1.6 kg), while chicken fetched around K2,400-K3,300 per viss.
