(ĐN)- The price of chicken in Dong Nai has increased by VND4,000–VND5,000 per kg to between VND30,000-VND31,000 per kg. Director Le Thanh Phuong of Emivest VN Company said prices of chicken and eggs have continuously decreased since the bird flu news and breeders have suffered losses due to price fall.

Dong Nai authorities have officially confirmed an outbreak of avian flu in the locality. However, no new cases were reported in the last ten days; this signaled an initial success of the province to contain the pandemic. Accordingly, the price for chicken meat is predicted to increase slightly in the coming time.

If Dong Nai has no new outbreak for 21 days, it will be considered to be free from bird flu.
