# Chicken industry hatches a Rs 110 price plan

> Poultry industry leaders meeting under the All India Poultry Breeders Association and other state bodies agreed to work toward a minimum live chicken price benchmark of Rs 110 per kg. They also demanded scrapping the import duty on maize and duty-free imports of non-GMO maize, citing El Niño and rising maize prices.

## Why it matters

Higher feed costs from maize shortages squeeze poultry margins and may push India toward duty-free corn imports, which would affect global corn demand. Attempts to set a live chicken price floor reflect pressure from rising input costs.
