Government is intervening as a major increase in the local price of animal feed is set to trigger a hike in the price of meat and poultry produced here.
Minister of agriculture Indar Weir tells Starcom Network News he will be meeting tomorrow with management of Pinnacle Feeds, the lone local manufacturer of animal feed.
Mr. Weir says a number of options are being considered to protect the farmers while taking Pinnacle’s position into consideration.
