POULTRYINDONESIA, Jakarta<\/b> \u2013 The Ministry of Agriculture has recorded a downward trend in animal feed prices at the producer level during the period of February to early March 2026. This decline is expected to help reduce production costs for farmers, particularly in the poultry sector which is heavily dependent on manufactured feed.<\/h6>\n
Based on monitoring from the Feed Production and Price Information System (SPORA)<\/b> under the Directorate of Feed, price reductions occurred across several main types of feed used in both broiler and layer chicken farming.<\/h6>\n

Government and Industry Perspectives<\/h6>\n
Agung Suganda<\/b>, Director General of Livestock and Animal Health, stated that this trend is a positive development for the sustainability of the national livestock industry.<\/h6>\n

“A decrease in feed prices is certainly good news for farmers as it helps lower production costs. More efficient production costs lead to more sustainable farming operations and better price stability for livestock products,” he said at the Ministry of Agriculture, Jakarta, Thursday (March 5).<\/p>\n

However, Agung noted that this adjustment has only been implemented by a portion of the industry. Of the 87 poultry feed mills<\/b> operating in Indonesia, approximately 33 (38%)<\/b> have lowered their prices. The government continues to monitor prices via SPORA and engage with industry players to encourage more companies to follow suit.<\/h6>\n
Desianto Budi Utomo<\/b>, Chairman of the Indonesian Feed Millers Association (GPMT), added that the industry is focusing on efficiency to remain competitive. He emphasized ongoing coordination with the government to ensure the availability of raw materials at competitive prices.<\/h6>\n
Strengthening Domestic Corn Production<\/h6>\n
Previously, Minister of Agriculture Andi Amran Sulaiman<\/b> emphasized that the government is strengthening national corn production as the primary raw material for feed.<\/h6>\n
“There are no corn imports specifically for feed; in fact, we have exported it,” Amran stated during a Grand Corn Harvest in Bekasi (Jan 8). He highlighted exports to Malaysia and the Philippines from regions like West Kalimantan, NTB, and Gorontalo.<\/h6>\n
This policy aligns with President Prabowo Subianto’s<\/b> directive during the Food Self-Sufficiency announcement in Karawang (Jan 7), which targets lower feed prices to reduce national food costs.<\/h6>\n
