# Feed Prices Surge, Tanah Datar Regency Seeks Subsidized Corn for Farmers

> The Tanah Datar regency government is working to secure subsidized corn for layer farmers after feed prices rose sharply. Farmers report losses of about Rp100 per egg because egg prices are Rp1,300 against production costs of Rp1,400, with corn at Rp8,000-8,500 per kg in some areas.
