Indian poultry breeders and state associations met in Hyderabad on November 2, 2026, and agreed to back a ₹110 per kg benchmark for live chicken. They attributed recent price declines mainly to seasonal festival-period demand and asked the government to allow duty-free imports of non-GMO maize.
The groups blamed rising maize prices and El Niño-linked supply shortages for higher input costs.
A coordinated price floor and a push for duty-free maize imports signal tighter Indian feed grain supply and higher feed costs. If imports are approved, they would ease domestic maize tightness and could cap CORN gains.
After 318 past bullish policy events, CORN moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.5%), and -0.2% over 20.
