# Corn and soybean meal price increases raise livestock production costs

> In Nepal, higher corn and soybean meal prices have raised feed costs, with industry representatives reporting that feed production costs are up about 15%. Imported soybean meal deliveries are taking 90 days rather than 60, while Indian corn prices have risen and some lower-quality Nepali corn is being sent to India for ethanol production.

## Why it matters

Higher ingredient prices and longer import lead times tighten feed availability and lift costs for poultry producers, potentially pushing up livestock-product prices. Diversion of corn to Indian ethanol production adds demand pressure on Nepal’s corn supply.
