# Poultry industry pushes for ₹110 per kg live chicken price - The Hindu

> Poultry industry leaders from AIPBA, PIBCC and state associations met in Hyderabad on November 2, 2026, and called for a benchmark live chicken price of ₹110 per kg. They said the recent price decline was mostly seasonal and asked for duty-free imports of non-GMO maize to ease rising feed costs.

## Why it matters

Rising maize prices tied to El Niño shortages raise feed costs for Indian poultry, and a push for duty-free maize imports could increase import demand for corn and tighten supply. Soybean meal availability is described as abundant, which may cap feed-cost pressure.
