Chairman of the Dutch Union of Poultry Farmers (NVP) Bart-Jan Oplaat talks about 'a perfect storm'. It is still difficult to say how great the damage will be for poultry farmers, but according to Oplaat, entrepreneurs in the free-range sector, in particular, are having a hard time. Since October 2021 there has been an obligation to keep chickens indoors. According to Oplaat, the poultry farmers lose three cents per free-range egg, which means a loss of three thousand euros per week for an average free-range farm. That loss is independent of the costs associated with the increase in energy and feed prices. The war in Ukraine has made grain expensive, and the price of animal feed has risen with it. Kees de Jong, chairman of the LTO poultry department, sees this too. "We don't exactly have the wind at our back right now, and I'm expressing myself euphemistically." Situation worrisome According to De Jong, the bird flu situation is worrisome.
