Layer chicken farmers in Kediri Regency, East Java, say egg prices at farm gate have fallen to around Rp21,000-22,000 per kilogram, below their production cost, while feed costs keep climbing. The squeeze has lasted seven to eight months, forcing some farmers to cull flocks or close businesses.
Rising feed costs combined with weak egg prices are pushing small layer producers out of business, which can reduce flock sizes and later tighten egg supply. For feed buyers, sustained margin pressure weakens demand for layer feed in this region.
