Mostly Sadia chickens from Brazil. More recently a lot of Saudi produced chicken.

 

Many years ago arriving in Jeddah from Bkk on a Saudia flight an arab in front of me at customs had a fresh uncooked chicken in his luggage.

 

Customs started ranting about it not being halal and had a Filipino worker chop it to bits on the customs desk then throw it in a bin.

So chicken prices will go up as well. Covid increased Pad Thai from 35 to 50 Baht, the Ukraine war increased a case of soda from 115 to 155 Baht and the Saudis now support chicken. 

What's next? 

Does that mean that chicken prices for the domestic market will raise even higher? Chicken breast in Big C is getting close to double what it was a year ago!
