Why did the price of Indonesian chicken suddenly plummet?
In the past six months, the price of chicken in Indonesia has been falling continuously, and small-scale poultry farmers have suffered heavy losses, but effective control measures have never been introduced. Today, the price of chicken in Indonesia has almost collapsed. After asking chicken farms to slaughter old hens over 68 weeks old, in order to cope with the drop in chicken prices, Indonesia took aim at eggs again this time: asking chicken farmers to throw away 6.5438 million eggs or give them away for free.

It is reported that Indonesia hopes to reduce the supply of chicken by reducing the number of eggs that can hatch, thus increasing the price of chicken. According to the data released by the National Strategic Grain Price Information Center, the average retail price of chicken this year dropped by 25% to 30,000 rupiah (about 15 RMB) per kilogram, the lowest since July 20 16. For many ordinary families, chicken has become one of the cheapest sources of protein for local animals, but the life of poultry breeders is very hard. Diamada, the animal husbandry industry of the Ministry of Agriculture, said that the only thing that can be done at present is to destroy 6,543,800 eggs to be hatched, so as to have a positive impact on the market.

Indonesian chicken supply exceeds demand, why not turn to export? This is because Indonesia's recent export performance is not good. According to the statistics of the statistics department, Indonesia's total exports shrank by 65,438+0.865,438+0% in the second quarter of 2065,438+09, which is completely opposite to the growth of 7.65% in the same period last year. In this regard, some people think that the decline of Indonesia's exports is attributed to the fluctuation of RMB exchange rate, but Indonesia says that the poor export performance is its own reason and has nothing to do with the fluctuation of RMB exchange rate.

According to relevant data, China has been India's largest trading partner for the past eight years. In view of the oversupply of chicken in Indonesia and the soaring price of pork in China, relevant people said that Indonesia could consider exporting chicken to China to consume some domestic chicken supply.
