Pakistan poultry prices to sky-rocket

[Safriz]

The possible levy of the General Sales Tax on poultry feed in Pakistan will result in poultry prices escalating by around 20-25%, experts have warned.

The GST is likely to be announced in the federal budget, as the new government takes extra measures to enhance its revenue base.

The poultry industry firmly opposes the move, calling it detrimental to the growth of this important sector of the economy. Ex-Chairman Pakistan Poultry Association Abdul Basit said the poultry industry was already passing through a critical phase, facing Rs1 billion losses every month.

Basit added that poultry was one of the most important sectors of the economy as it provided livelihood to millions of people across the country and ensured the availability of cheap animal protein to the masses.

He asked the authorities concerned not to tax the food sector, keeping in view its repercussion on the food security of the country. Talking about the impact of GST on the poultry sector, Basit said the industry would mostly have to bear the negative impact as it could not be passed over to the consumers.

Sharifs own most of punjab's poultry and feed production......God speed..

GST would badly effect us consumers. Not only it is being increased on food products but on mobile balance too. For every 100 rs card, we get 82/83 rs balance. Now with new GST we would get 79/80 Rs for each 100 rs balance. FUKC that bay sharmi,,, we Awam have to suffer while they can't collect taxes from influentials.

Now I have to stock up eggs now .It's 6-8 rs per egg and with this GST prices may shoot up to 12-14 rs per egg. FML

I have better solution
insects can be farmed in controlled environment as Chicken feed...Insects turn 60% of whatever they eat into Proteins..So if grasshoppers are farmed,they grow fast and feed on grass,they can be a constant supply of chicken feed....

If things continue to go as they are, then pretty soon the chicken feed will be consumed directly by humans instead of chickens.

Taxes are of two types Direct and Indirect.
Direct taxes effect only the concern person or business, where indirect tax is paid by all the population. World over GST (General Sales Tax) is used to document the economy. Its max 2% or 3%.
In Pakistan, these BCs (govt and bureaucrats) instead of focusing on income tax, have concentrated all revenue collection through GST. What will happen that Poultry business owners will pass this entire burden to the consumer, without compromising their own profits. Result more inflation.

Shame on government really.

Would you prefer nido or open dirty milk, have we not seen those footage on news channels.

On poultry, Pakistani government still have lands with no use why not established safe poultry farms and increase the farming production for inhome and exports. This is one Area that doesn't cost much but brings in alot of cash. Literally our government have ran out of ideas.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Why are we selling Nido in Pakistan , while every one else in Desert is drinking fresh milk that is all I will say
Why are we drinking dirty water (due to ****** pipelines ** note water is clean) why can we not upgrade pipes

So many questions ... now even Desi Ande , are out of purchasing power ...
