Indian poultry industry participants expect egg and chicken prices to rise by 25–30% by December 2026. The article attributes the outlook to higher poultry-feed costs: maize and broken-rice prices have increased sharply, while weak monsoon conditions in Maharashtra and Karnataka are expected to reduce kharif maize output by 15–16%; growing ethanol use and grain hoarding are also cited as factors.
Feed cost inflation squeezes poultry producers and is expected to pass through to egg and chicken prices. Reduced maize availability and competition from ethanol producers could also support domestic corn prices.
After 1,465 past bullish weather events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
After 179 past bullish weather events, Rough Rice moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.5%), and +2.2% over 20.
