According to Abdelaziz El-Sayed, head of the poultry wealth department at the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, prices at the farm level are between 73 and 74 pounds per kilogram. This stability is significant for the country's food security and economy.

The Egyptian government is working to support small and large producers, as well as open new export markets in Arab, African, and international markets.

The poultry sector in Egypt consists of over 27,000 diverse farms, including those producing table eggs, broiler chickens, and parent stock.

The production of poultry and eggs in Egypt has seen significant growth. The production of table eggs reached 16 billion eggs, compared to 14 billion eggs in the previous year. The production of local breed chickens reached 360 million birds, an increase of over 12%. This growth is attributed to the efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture to improve the poultry sector.

The prices of other types of poultry also show stability. The price of turkey ranges between 150 and 160 pounds per kilogram in the local market. The price of duck starts from 130 to 140 pounds per kilogram. These prices reflect the current market trends and the efforts of the government to control inflation.

The sector provides direct and indirect job opportunities for approximately 3.5 million citizens. The production of white chickens reached 1.6 billion birds, compared to 1.4 billion birds in the previous year, a growth rate of 14%.

The Egyptian government has also made significant progress in increasing the production of veterinary vaccines. The production of local vaccines has increased to 2.3 billion doses annually, compared to 120 million doses previously. This growth is attributed to the efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture to improve the health of the poultry sector.

The prices of chicks in the local market range between 21 and 22 pounds. The stability of poultry prices and the growth of the sector are significant for the Egyptian economy and food security.
