POULTRY depots across Trinidad and Tobago are experiencing a chicken shortage which may lead to customers getting less product and a price increase.

This was confirmed by president of the Broiler Growers Association, Sudesh Ramkissoon, in a telephone interview with the Express yesterday.

He said, 'There is a shortage and the cost has gone up, which will take a toll on customers. I don't have a reason for the shortage yet.'
