Egyptian farmgate prices for white broiler chickens and breeder hens fell, while fillet prices jumped and other poultry prices varied. A poultry producers’ representative said birds and eggs were selling 10–15 Egyptian pounds below production cost despite ample supply, and warned that a 15% rise in feed costs—linked to transport and imported corn and soybeans—could push chicken production costs above 80 pounds per kilogram.
Higher transport and imported feed costs threaten to squeeze producer margins and could prompt small farms to leave the market, potentially tightening poultry supply. The reported feed-cost rise is bullish for corn and soybeans as inputs and raises cost pressure on chicken production.
