# India's poultry prices fall as maize costs rise

> Broiler and egg prices in India fell sharply between June and August 2026 while maize became more expensive. The squeeze has narrowed poultry producers' margins even as demand for dairy, meat, eggs and aquaculture products grows. Soybean meal availability and prices are also cited as factors affecting feed costs.

## Why it matters

Higher maize costs with weaker meat and egg prices squeeze feed-buying margins for Indian poultry producers, which can reduce restocking and weigh on feed demand. Firmer maize prices support CORN, while weaker chicken prices point lower for CHICKEN.
