Philippines to stem chick shortage with egg import

According to reports, a temporary shortfall in Filipino chick production means that 150,000 eggs for hatching will be imported to the country from Malaysia. The import is part of an agreement by the United Broilers and Raisers Association (UBRA) and the Philippine Association of Broiler Integrators.
An UBRA official said chicken supplies remain sufficient with retail prices at approximately P130 per kilogram.
