In the coming weeks Barbadians can expect to pay more for chicken and other meat products.That’s because livestock feeds are set to increase by an average of 26 per cent from August 1 and the chief executive officer of the Barbados Agricultural Society (BAS) James Paul has warned that those increased costs will be passed onto consumers.The decision by Pinnacle Feeds Limited to substantially raise their feed prices is a result of a sustained increase in the price of corn on the world market from $3.50 per bushel to as much as $7.The situation has led to Paul requesting a meeting with Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Indar Weir.
