POULTRYINDONESIA, Bogor – Breeder representatives from the Greater Bogor (Bogor Raya) and Banten regions, together with four national poultry associations—namely PINSAR, PPUN, GOPAN, and PERMINDO—have agreed on a joint initiative to strengthen livebird (live chicken) prices and maintain market stability.

The agreement was reached during a coordination meeting held in Bogor on Wednesday (17/6). This meeting was a response to market conditions that continue to face pressure, highlighting the need for sales discipline and unity among all poultry business actors.

During the meeting, participants agreed to implement livebird selling prices based on chicken weight as follows:

• Weight 0.8–1.0 kg: IDR 22,000/kg

• Weight 1.0–1.2 kg: IDR 21,000/kg

• Weight 1.2–1.4 kg: IDR 20,500/kg

• Weight 1.4–1.6 kg: IDR 20,000/kg

• Weight above 1.6 kg: IDR 19,500/kg

Association representatives emphasized that the success of price improvement efforts cannot rely solely on the agreement made. What matters more is the commitment of all business actors to implement it consistently in the field.

“Coordination, consolidation, and collaboration must be manifested in concrete actions. This agreement serves as proof that breeders and associations are ready to move together to safeguard the sustainability of the national poultry industry,” a statement in the forum noted.

Meeting participants also reiterated that healthy pricing is an essential prerequisite for the business continuity of smallholder breeders. Recently, breeders have faced severe pressure due to high production costs and ongoing market fluctuations.

Through this commitment, the four associations, along with Greater Bogor and Banten breeders, invite all poultry business actors in various regions to maintain solidarity, practice sales discipline, and adhere to the agreed prices. Consequently, the price improvement efforts are expected to be felt more evenly by breeders.

“Committed, united, and consistent. Only through togetherness can healthy prices and a sustainable poultry business be achieved.”

Breeders hope that the price improvement measures currently underway will begin to show results within the next few days. However, if prices still do not move in a better direction and smallholder breeders continue to incur losses, the associations assess that unrest at the breeder level will become increasingly difficult to contain.

On the other hand, the four associations in principle continue to prioritize dialogue, coordination, and joint resolutions with all stakeholders. Nevertheless, the continuous pressure experienced by smallholder breeders leaves less and less room to hold back various grievances in the field if concrete steps to improve price conditions are not taken immediately.

Therefore, all relevant parties are expected to take swift, measurable actions that support the business continuity of smallholder breeders as one of the main pillars of the national poultry industry.
