# Poultry Industry Advocates for ₹110/kg Live Chicken Price Amidst Rising Input Costs

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
