Maize prices in Namakkal, Tamil Nadu, reportedly rose about 50-55%, from around Rs 22 to Rs 33-34 per kg. Poultry farmers blame inadequate rainfall that reduced supplies from Attur, Pethanaickenpalayam and Kallakurichi.
Maize makes up more than 40% of poultry feed, so a local supply squeeze raises feed and egg production costs. The effect is regional and does not meaningfully move global corn prices.
After 1,469 past bullish weather events, Corn moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.8%), and +0.9% over 20.
