The COVID-19 vaccine offered further relief from the distressing pandemic, leading to increased business activities. The reopening of operations in the manufacturing units positively impacted the chicken extract market and led to its production recovery. Manufacturers overcame the demand and supply gap as they were permitted to operate at total capacity.
