# Indonesia to scrutinise poultry supply chain as farmers report losses

> Indonesia's agriculture minister said the government will investigate poultry supply-chain price disparities after independent farmers reported selling chickens below production cost while consumers face much higher prices. The government plans to buy eggs directly from farmers and accelerate corn distribution and feed support through state-owned channels.
