According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia's layer hen egg production in 2022 reached 5.57 million tons.

This production volume increased by 7.9% compared to 2021 (year-on-year/yoy), setting a new record high, as shown in the graph.

Compared to the year 2000, Indonesian chicken egg production in 2022 had surged by 1,006%, or increased about tenfold in the last two decades.

Despite the continuous increase in production, the price of chicken eggs in Indonesia tends to be increasingly expensive.

According to data from the Ministry of Trade's Market and Basic Needs Monitoring System (SP2KP), in December 2022, the national average price of chicken eggs reached Rp31,108 per kilogram, the highest record in the last five years.

Entering this year, the trend of chicken egg prices remains high. Samhadi, the Deputy Secretary General of the Indonesian People's Poultry Breeders Association, even predicts that egg prices will tend to rise until September 2023.

According to Samhadi, the increasing price of eggs is influenced by the increase in the price of corn for chicken feed from Rp6,000 per kg to Rp7,200 per kg.

"So, the price of feed, especially the expensive corn, forms a higher production cost than usual, so the price of eggs is expensive because the livestock feed is also expensive," said Samhadi, as reported by *Katadata.co.id*, Thursday (25/5/2023).

Samhadi also assessed that the price increase is due to increased demand for eggs for social assistance programs (bansos).

"Demand (for eggs) is increasing, on the other hand, it is indeed beneficial for farmers, but we cannot produce a large quantity of eggs due to the high price of feed," said Samhadi.
