# Kurigram egg farmers squeezed as feed, medicine and power costs rise

> Poultry farmers in Kurigram district, Bangladesh, say rising prices for feed, medicine and electricity have pushed their 275 farms into losses. Producing one egg now costs Tk 8.5 to 9 while the market often pays only Tk 9 to 9.5, and some farms are closing. Farmers want feed and medicine prices controlled and farm power billed at the agricultural rate.

## Why it matters

Higher feed and medicine costs squeeze local egg margins and may curb flock sizes, which trims demand for feed ingredients such as corn and soymeal in Bangladesh over time. The effect on world feed prices is small given the local scale.
