THE price of foie gras in Hungary, one of the world's leading producers of the delicacy, has surged since an outbreak of bird flu forced farmers to cull more than three million fowl, mostly geese and ducks.
A kilogram of goose foie gras cost about 13,000 forints (S$63.80) in Budapest's Lehel market hall on Wednesday morning, almost double what it was before the bird flu crisis.
