Deputy Agriculture Minister Morteza Rezaei said standardizing the age and weight of broiler chickens produced in Iranian poultry farms is inevitable and highly important to have a bigger share in international markets.
“In foreign trade, chicken is sold with a weight of maximum 1,200-1,400 grams, while the average chicken produced in Iranian farms weighs over 2 kilograms,” Rezaei was quoted as saying by IRNA.
Iran produces over 2.1 million chickens in 20,000 farms annually.
