Indonesia: Feed industry faces challenges in feed ingredients availability

Tridge summary

Indonesia is expected to face the El Nino phenomenon with a weak to moderate intensity later in June 2023, coupled with the positive movement of the Indian Ocean Dipole climate phenomenon, leading to drier conditions in the region. Despite not yet experiencing El Nino, the national feed industry has already struggled with the availability of feed ingredients, which has resulted in price increases. This is a particular concern for corn, a key ingredient in animal feed, as its supply disruption is expected to further drive up prices.

The challenges posed by El Nino and the impact on the feed industry and poultry sector highlight the importance of devising strategies to mitigate these effects.
