Maize prices in Namakkal, Tamil Nadu have risen from around Rs 22 per kg to Rs 33-34 per kg, an increase of roughly 50-55%. Poultry farmers blame inadequate rainfall in major maize-growing areas such as Attur, Pethanaickenpalayam and Kallakurichi, which has reduced procurement for poultry farms.
Maize is over 40% of poultry feed, so the spike raises egg production costs and signals tighter local corn supply that could firm regional feed and corn prices.
