# Lobbies in Tamil Nadu, Andhra and Karnataka exploit Kerala situation as prices rise

> Poultry feed prices in Kerala have risen sharply, with layer feed reaching up to 1,800 rupees per 50 kg bag from 1,200 a year earlier. Farmers say companies raise prices repeatedly and have not seen a decline in the past year, which they attribute to rising corn and wheat costs cited by manufacturers.

## Why it matters

Most of Kerala's poultry feed comes from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, so higher regional feed costs and corn and wheat input prices pass directly into local feed-buyer margins. The story points to sustained upward pressure on feed ingredient demand in southern India.
