Rising Poultry Feed Costs May Increase Egg and Chicken Prices by Up to 30% by Year-End
Rising prices of maize and soybean, key ingredients in poultry feed, are increasing costs for poultry farmers in Telangana and across India. Factors such as El Niño, deficient monsoon, and supply-chain hoarding have contributed to these price surges. Poultry associations have sought government support to mitigate feed costs. As feed accounts for about 80% of production expenses, egg and chicken prices are expected to rise by 25-30% by December, raising concerns about affordability and output.
