POULTRYINDONESIA, Jakarta — National poultry industry players have begun strategizing for 2026, a year expected to be shaped by feed price dynamics, consumer purchasing power, and supply fluctuations. Amidst these conditions, PT Sreeya Sewu Indonesia Tbk (Sreeya) views the poultry sector as having a positive prospect, particularly regarding the demand for animal protein.

This optimism was expressed by the President Director of Sreeya, Eddy Tamboto, who noted that demand for poultry-based animal protein remains the industry’s primary backbone. According to him, the poultry sector functions as a strategic food industry that is relatively resilient to economic pressure. Furthermore, with Indonesia’s economic growth projected at 5%, he is confident there is still room for growth.

While fluctuating commodity and feed prices will remain risk factors throughout 2026, Eddy stated that the company is continuously striving to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness to reduce costs and increase resilience against market volatility.

“Operational cost pressure will remain the company’s main challenge this year. This aligns with the fluctuations in live bird prices and raw material commodity prices, such as corn and soybean meal. We project that corn prices in 2026 will be relatively stable and not significantly different from 2025, given the trend toward wetter weather. However, global uncertainty still has the potential to affect the availability and price of soybean meal,” he added during a Virtual Public Expose on Thursday (Jan 22).

To maintain future profitability, he emphasized strengthening operational excellence as a core strategy. With high operational excellence, Eddy believes the company can further suppress operating expenses and the cost of goods sold (COGS), thereby better managing vulnerability to market fluctuations.

Regarding 2026 financial performance targets, Sreeya is aiming for improvements across all segments. Looking back at its trajectory, as of the third quarter of 2025, Sreeya’s net sales reached Rp3.93 trillion, a slight decrease of 1.72% compared to the same period the previous year.

The animal feed segment remained the leader with a contribution of Rp1.96 trillion. This was followed by breeding and chicken farming at Rp993.13 billion, and broilers & frozen food at approximately Rp980.55 billion. By the end of the third quarter, the company recorded a net profit of Rp5.08 billion.
