SAHIWAL: An aggressive campaign through banners is being run by the Pakistan Poultry Association (PPA), strongly protesting against the pending clearance to soya bean and canola oil tankers at the sea port for the last few months.

The banners read: “the non-clearance of 6 lakh tons of soya bean and canola oil will damage the supply line of poultry feed which directly damages the poultry industry.

Local office-bearers of PPA told Dawn soya bean meal and canola oil are used in poultry feed which are not available to poultry farmers because of the non-clearance to tankers at the Karachi port.

“The production of poultry and eggs will come down in 3-4 weeks, ultimately creating a shortage of meat and eggs,”. Says Muhammad Hussain, convenor of PPA Feeds Mills Liaison Committee, while talking to Dawn.
