OPie
There is a shortage of chickens on the market.
Due to forex shortage, the local chicken companies are unable to import the usual quantity of broiler hatching eggs, so there is and will be a further shortage.

The price increase is simply based on supply and demand.

Chicken prices have increased significantly over the last 2 months.

Correct. I spoke to one of the pluck shop owners when I saw that all they had were 3.5lb chickens and he told me that very thing.

I checked a number of places today for chicken and no luck. Pricesmart had boneless thighs only and just about 3 packs. None at superquality or the pluck shops I checked. Xtrafoods had a few packs but the price is much higher than what I usually pay elsewhere.

I think this increase happened a long time now. They introduced a 6 piece for $99 around the same time. I think KFC has done an amazing job at maintaining competitive food prices over the years!

This is no joke yes! About 3 months back I bought a chicken Roti for $25 on the main road in Enterprise. Was just a mid-morning snack to share with my son. My son cut it in almost equal halves before eating it, he likes to do this because he likes to get meat in his first bite. Boy was he disappointed! His piece did not have a piece of meat, my piece had about 3 small pieces and one of the pieces was mainly bone. I will never go there again!

bought chicken roti from st james to tunapuna and the average is 3 small pieces (like what you will get in a pealau pack) 1 pot spoon ah curry aloo for $20 if yuh get pumpkin or bhaji in it the price is $27 and extra for mango. Really an truly it not worth it. is better to buy ah box ah chinese food or cook your own healthy food. a pack of roti skin in the grocery is like
$24 for 4 skins and a chicken is average $40 and with that you can take curry chicken roti to lunch 4 days of the week. and fix yuhself nice.
