(原创)The poultry(家禽)farming has already seen steep losses because of a sharp drop in market demand since the H7N9 virus outbreak began earlier in March, and it is expected to shrivel this year.
“At present, the company’s cold storage containing 5, 000 metric tons is almost full of ducks since few people will buy, ”said Zhao Binghe, a manager of a private company that processes ducks in Chifeng, in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
The company processes an average of 30 million ducks every year, and nearly 60 percent of them are sold to markets in the Yangtze River Delta region, where the current bird flu cases are from. The company is now losing nearly 1 million yuan a day, he said. Of course, Zhao’s company is not alone in suffering because of the recent H7N9 outbreak.
