KUALA PILAH: The Negri Sembilan branch of the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP) has issued 24 notices to chicken producers, wholesalers and retailers following price hikes of the item in the market. “Price hikes were also recorded at hypermarkets and supermarkets. “The initial investigation found that the higher standard dressed chicken price was due to the increase in the cost of chicken feed at the producer and breeder levels,” she told reporters after monitoring the chicken prices here yesterday. To prevent price hikes, she said KPDNHEP will continue to conduct checks at every level in the poultry distribution chain until Sept 22. The public can also channel complaints on price hikes through the e-aduan.kpdnhep portal at https://eaduan.kpdnhep.gov.my or WhatsApp 019-279 4317.
