Poultry Federation of India president Ranpal Dhanda said India needs to raise maize production and strengthen supply chains to secure feed for the expanding poultry sector. He cited estimated maize demand of about 50 million tonnes in 2025–26, potentially rising to 64–72 million tonnes by 2030, while ethanol production is also increasing maize use.
Rising demand from poultry and ethanol competes for maize, which could tighten availability and support prices unless production and productivity improve.
