According to the Iranian Labour News Agency (ILNA), chicken prices in Iran have risen by at least 25%, further exacerbating the cost of living for wage earners. The report states that the minimum daily wage for Iranian workers is 554,000 tomans, which is only enough to buy about 1.5 kilograms of chicken, equivalent to a small whole chicken. The report also points out that the cost of a basic living basket in Iran has reached 100 million tomans, highlighting the impact of rising food prices on the purchasing power of low-income families.
