Poultry farmers struggle to find insurance

Poultry farmers say they are struggling to get their businesses insured, following the recent outbreak of H7N9 bird flu.

Zhang Bing, a breeder from Beijing's suburbs, said it has been a frustrating experience in recent days, due to the shortage of such products on the market.

The price of eggs has dropped 20 percent since the outbreak of H7N9 bird flu last month, and the price of chicken has also fallen by around 30 percent.
