> Chicken meat prices at Jakarta markets remain high, with whole chickens sold at Rp 38,000 to Rp 50,000 per bird depending on size. Traders say prices have fallen only irregularly and have not returned to pre-program levels since the free school meal program (MBG) began, and that bird sizes are shrinking.

Persistently high domestic chicken prices in Indonesia point to sticky demand from a large new state feeding program, which supports poultry feed demand; the price effect on feed ingredients is indirect and modest.
