Poultry Sector Demands ₹110/kg Live Chicken Price Amid Rising Costs
Poultry industry leaders from across the country have called for a benchmark price of ₹11,000 per tonne for live chicken, equivalent to ₹110 per kg, to stabilise the market amid rising input costs and price fluctuations. The demand was made at a high-level meeting in Hyderabad on November 2, 2026, where representatives from the All India Poultry Breeders Association (AIPBA), Pan India Breeders Coordination Committee (PIBCC), and several state poultry associations gathered.
Industry leaders attributed recent price declines to seasonal factors, such as reduced consumption during the festival period, and urged stakeholders not to panic. They plan to meet government representatives in New Delhi next week to discuss policy interventions, including duty-free imports of non-GMO maize to address rising feed costs.
El Niño conditions have impacted maize availability, contributing to higher production costs. The meeting also highlighted the abundant supply of soybean in the market, which industry representatives said could help mitigate price volatility.
