    This is a new idea to put up poulry products in markets as retail business. Present trend of buyers is a good indication of success of this venture. People prefer fresh, and Daily Fresh may so get on the top.

    It’s a good initiative taken by suguna to offer best product to the consumer. When it comes as dressed chicken, the environmental pollution control will be assured. The economics of the new concept should hopefully be encouraging.
