Indian poultry industry participants forecast that egg and chicken prices could rise 25–30% by December 2026 as feed costs increase. The article reports that corn has risen from ₹18 to ₹34 per kg and broken rice from ₹14–15 to ₹31–32 per kg, citing weaker monsoon rainfall in Maharashtra and Karnataka as a factor affecting corn production.
Higher corn and broken-rice costs raise poultry ration and production costs, potentially prompting producers to pass costs through to consumers and supporting chicken prices. Reduced monsoon rainfall may further tighten domestic corn availability.
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.
