Huge Demand For Monkeys In China Each One Costs Rs 20 25 Lakhs

Beijing: There is a huge demand for monkeys in China. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a monkey even for Rs. 20-25 lakh. It is said that their price will increase further in the coming time. Officials say that the reason for the shortage of these monkeys is the unprecedented growth of the biotech sector.

Clinical trials conducted as part of medical research require a large number of monkeys. However, the price of these animals is skyrocketing due to the lack of sufficient numbers for research. Although many new bio projects were started in 2025, the research was stopped midway due to a shortage of monkeys.
