government Attempted to stabilize the market and control prices by allocating foreign currency to importers, but the imported chickens were unexpectedly hatched and did not contribute to meeting the country’s needs. The government has allocated foreign currency to importers, but the chickens they imported were mostly female and not suitable for meat production.

According to Hadi Faridounian, Secretary of the Mother Chicken Association, companies have imported mother chickens with foreign currency, but half of them have hatched and are not suitable for meat production. He emphasized that this is a waste of foreign currency, which should have been used to import medicines for patients or other essential needs.

Faridounian also pointed out that some officials have remained silent about the quality of vaccines used and the health status of the chickens, adding that the public’s trust has been undermined. He also emphasized that the industry has become politicized, as the government is also a major player in the poultry industry, both as a producer and importer.

The allocation of foreign currency for importing chickens that are not suitable for meat production is a significant waste of resources, especially in a country where the economy is facing inflation and a shortage of foreign currency. The problem has also disrupted the country’s plan to produce and supply chicken meat.

Several organizations are responsible for overseeing the importation of poultry, including the Ministry of Agriculture and the Veterinary Organization. However, it appears that these organizations have failed to ensure the quality and authenticity of the imported chickens.

The companies that imported the chickens are also responsible, as they have a financial interest in the importation process and are supposed to follow the rules and regulations. However, it is still unclear whether the failure was due to a mistake in identifying the sex of the chickens or other factors, such as abuse of the foreign currency allocation.

The government has emphasized the need to investigate the importation process and determine the responsible parties. The investigation is expected to identify the causes of the problem and prevent similar cases of waste of foreign currency in the future.
