Chicken is de cheapest source of meat. And so is de poor man meat.

Chicken turn a big man now. It deh in short supply and de price gone up. It gone so high, it done scale Mount Roraima. Poor people can’t afford to eat chicken and yuh can bet dat by dis week fish price gan raise. And dah gat nuttin to do with de war in Ukraine.
Dem poultry producers seh how is de demand cause dat. But dem boys wan know how come de demand in March higher dan at Christmas. Dat nah mek sense. Something going on and dem boys gan buss up deh bag.
