# Animal Feed Price: Poultry Industry Seeks 5 Million Tonnes of Rice

> India's poultry industry has asked the government to release about 5 million tonnes of broken rice and other suitable grains from FCI's surplus stocks at subsidised rates. The request is aimed at cutting egg and chicken production costs, which have risen with feed prices.

## Why it matters

Diverting surplus rice to poultry feed would add supply to the feed-grain pool and could ease domestic feed costs, while the request also signals that corn and soybean prices have pushed feed costs higher.
