> Independent broiler farmers in Indonesia report live bird prices of Rp17,000-18,000 per kg at the farm gate, below production costs of Rp22,500-23,000 per kg, a situation that has lasted nearly three weeks. Feed costs remain high, with imported soybean meal around Rp10,000 per kg and corn at Rp7,800-8,000 per kg.
