Dec 21 (Reuters) - UK competition watchdog said on
Wednesday the potential joint venture between Dutch animal feed
maker ForFarmers  FFARM.AS   and British firm Boparan could lead
to farmers paying higher prices to feed poultry.
    The deal raised competition concerns in four local areas
across East Anglia, north-western England and North Wales where
it could lead to higher prices for poultry feed, lower quality
feed or worse quality of service, the Competition and Markets
Authority said after its Phase 1 probe.
