December 27, 2017: Whether it is roasted, barbequed, in a soup, a spicy curry or grilled and atop a salad, chicken is a favourite and a staple in every household, especially this festive season. With the country’s overall prosperity increasing, a sharp increase in the demand for chicken meat has been witnessed over the past few years further affirming the fact that more people are now consuming chicken as it is a delicacy that can be prepared according a host of different recipes and is also an affordable source of protein for the young and old alike.
More Sri Lankans consuming chicken is a ‘healthy’ sign as per experts because chicken is rich in proteins and vital nutrients that help citizens lead a healthy and active life through consuming a balanced diet. The demand for chicken for 2017 is projected to be 189,690 MT, a 3% increase from last year.
To cater to the rising demand yet taking into account that different consumers have different preferences, Crysbro Chicken has introduced freshly packed chicken parts which is easy to prepare and is handpicked to ensure quality and value for money for the consumer.
Another unique feature about the new product is that, in keeping with Crysbro’s pledge to be a socially and environmentally conscious business, the packaging adheres to accepted norms and policies set by the authorities and therefore is not only sustainable but also healthier for the consumer as opposed to chicken meat that is packaged in conventional polythene or plastic containers.
This new product spares customers of the hassle of having to spend a lot of time at the meat counter or the butchers handpicking piece by piece when buying chicken for a specific recipe or budget which has hitherto been the practise.
