The yearly cost of production of broilers has dropped 16.21 per cent, the drop being mainly driven by lower spending on poultry feed (-17.53 per cent) in 2013.
The cost of pig production has dropped down to 14.06 per cent during January to March 2013. This also reflects the decrease in spending on food (-15.28 per cent).
