# Poultry Associations Join Hands to Stabilise Chicken Prices, Seek Feed Cost Relief

> Indian poultry associations, including AIPBA and PIBCC, met at a Hyderabad hotel to discuss fluctuating chicken prices, rising maize costs and feed ingredient availability under El Niño conditions. Breeders agreed to coordinate efforts around a ₹110 per kg minimum benchmark for live chicken. They plan to meet government officials in New Delhi and urge duty-free non-GMO maize imports and greater use of domestic soybean.

## Why it matters

Pressure for duty-free maize imports and wider use of domestic soybean would shift feed sourcing in India and affect demand for imported grain. Concerns about El Niño-driven feed availability add upside risk to CORN and SBM prices.
