# Feed Prices Surge, PKB Legislator Jaelani Urges Government to Intervene Immediately

> Jaelani, a member of Indonesia's House of Representatives Commission IV from the PKB faction, urged the government to act quickly against scarcity and rising prices of livestock feed. Independent farmers in Central Java, Southeast Sulawesi and South Sulawesi say they can no longer cover operating costs. He warned that feed costs make up nearly two-thirds of poultry company operating expenses and could threaten meat and egg supply.

## Why it matters

Feed is the dominant cost for poultry producers, so rising feed prices in Indonesia raise domestic demand for imported feed ingredients and can pressure local corn and meal prices. Government intervention such as import or distribution measures could shift that demand.
