# Poultry Farmers Struggle as Feed Prices Surge: Groundnut, Soybean, Broken Rice and Maize Costs Rise

> Poultry farmers in Tanuku, Andhra Pradesh, say feed prices have climbed steeply over the past year, with groundnut cake rising from 36,000 to 45,000 rupees per quintal, soybean from 4,500 to 7,000, and maize from 2,400 to 3,600. Shortages persist as maize demand rises for seed and broken rice is diverted to beer production, and farmers are asking the government for relief.

## Why it matters
