# Poultry industry wants live chicken held at ₹110 a kg

> Indian poultry breeders and state associations met in Hyderabad on November 2 and agreed to work toward a benchmark price of ₹110 per kg for live broiler chicken. They attributed the recent price fall to seasonal lower demand during the festival period. They plan to seek duty-free imports of non-GM maize from the government.

## Why it matters

Rising maize costs, linked to El Niño-driven shortages, raise feed costs for Indian poultry producers and could lift demand for imported corn. A duty-free import push would be bearish for domestic maize prices if granted.
