# Cepea: Poultry farmers’ purchasing power against corn rises again

> São Paulo poultry farmers’ purchasing power against corn improved in October 2026, ending a three-month decline, because corn prices fell more sharply than egg prices. Greater corn availability, lower international prices, and a weaker dollar pressured corn quotations; purchasing power against soybean meal, however, declined for a fourth consecutive month.

## Why it matters

Lower corn prices improve feed affordability for poultry producers and may ease production costs. Continued weakness in purchasing power against soybean meal means total feed-cost pressure remains significant.
