When is chicken cheapest?
No reliably cheap season, and priciest around December. Seasonal outlook, not a price prediction.
Why chicken moves
Chicken splits two ways: frozen imported chicken tracks the cedi, while local birds track feed cost. The clearest, most reliable move is the December spike, when Christmas demand lifts prices across the board.
