Indonesia has experienced significant volatility in its poultry sector. In late July 2026, chicken prices in Kediri rose sharply, reaching 34,000 rupiah per kilogram. This increase was attributed to rising demand from school reopenings and the restart of the free nutritious meal program (Program Makan Bergizi Gratis, MBG).

By August 2026, the situation shifted toward producer instability. Poultry farmers in regions such as Kendal and Makassar staged protests to address plummeting egg prices and high animal feed costs. In Makassar, farmers reported that egg prices had fallen to between Rp20,000 and Rp21,000 per kilogram, which is below the government-set reference price of Rp26,500 per kilogram. Protesters have called for government intervention to prevent bankruptcy in the small-scale poultry sector, demanding lower feed prices and an end to raw material import monopolies.
