Egg farms closing down

 These seem to be tough times for egg farmers all over the world, not just here in Australia. Egg producers in Bhutan attribute a decline in egg production to the closure of poultry farms. Rising feed costs forced many farmers to abandon backyard and semi-commercial poultry farming. One farmer, said he has incurred substantial losses running a poultry farm. He used to have over 1,500 chickens, but closed the farm because of increases in the price of feed .He said he invested all his savings and took out significant loans from banks to start the business. With no prospects, he had no choice but to close. Sounds a familiar story. Politicians cause trouble everywhere.
