No chicken shortage but delayed in deliveries

The Department of Agriculture said there is no chicken shortage in the country.
The DA emphasized that there are three million kilos of surplus chicken in the country and 700,000 kilos of imported chicken but the problem is that they cannot distribute them to the market because of port congestion in Manila.

Many farms in Southern Luzon that supplied chicken to Metro Manila were also affected by Typhoon Glenda (Rammasun). This forced the Agriculture department to get chicken from regions farther away, worsening delivery delays.
