Jordan trade ministry investigating poultry price increases

Jordan's Ministry of Industry and Trade has opened an investigation into a recent increase in the price of local fresh chicken to determine whether it's a result of supply and demand issues or a rise in production costs, according to reports. The country's Consumer Protection Society has rejected the increase, calling it "unjustified" and saying that merchants are "exploiting" consumers ahead of Ramadan.
