100 Per Cent

By CHINA MAIL REPORTER Fresh poultry prices have gone up

on the local market this year, in some cases as much as 100 per cent. However, imported chickens, tur- keys and ducks from America, Australia and other countries have remained at steady prices according to various stores contacted this morning.

The

of manager

big Chinese store's food department said the price of fresh poultry and eggs had gone up quite considerably. The reason, he be- lieved, was that the Mainland was not sending as much this year as in the past.

Shortage

He believed the shortage wwx brought about by the commune system in China. He said that in the past, Individuals used to ralse chickens in their own back- yards and in their humes, but hen the communal style of liv- g was introduced, this practice ceased. He added that it wil take some time before Hong- kung receives the same amount of poultry as in the past.
