Indian egg and chicken prices have risen sharply, with the price of 100 eggs climbing from about ₹570 last November to ₹700–730 this year. The article attributes the increase to higher maize and soybean prices raising poultry-feed costs, and says diversion of maize to ethanol production may be tightening feed availability; seasonal demand ahead of Christmas and New Year is also noted.
Higher corn and soybean costs, alongside possible diversion of corn to ethanol, increase poultry production costs and can support feed-grain prices. The added pressure is reflected in higher egg and chicken prices for consumers.
