Indian poultry industry representatives expect chicken and egg prices to rise 25–30% by December, citing sharply higher feed costs. Corn prices have nearly doubled from ₹18 to ₹34 per kg, while soybean meal has risen from ₹14–15 to ₹31–32; below-normal monsoon rainfall and diversion of crops to ethanol production are cited as factors behind tighter corn supply.
Producers warn poultry output could fall by 20% in December–January as holiday-season demand rises.
Higher corn and soybean meal costs squeeze poultry margins and may lead producers to cut output, tightening chicken supply as seasonal demand peaks. That points to higher poultry prices and firmer feed ingredient demand.
