The Kolkata-based Merchants' Chamber of Commerce and Industry has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene over recurring shortages and sharp price swings in maize and other poultry feed materials. The chamber said feed inflation has already crossed 20% and called for coordinated Centre and state action on supply constraints.
Tight Indian maize supply tied to ethanol demand and lower crops supports feed costs and could lift import interest in corn and related feed ingredients. The policy pressure may lead to government measures that affect domestic maize and feed pricing.
After 318 past bullish policy events, Corn moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.5%), and -0.2% over 20.
