The article highlights a recent surge in local feed and raw material prices, with corn prices increasing by 200 pounds. Broiler feed now costs between 18,500 and 21,900 pounds, while other feeds like layer poultry, cattle, and duck have also experienced price changes. Imported Brazilian and Argentine yellow corn is priced at 12,600 pounds per ton, whereas Ukrainian and American corn is at 12,100 pounds. These price hikes are attributed to global issues such as the Russian-Ukrainian war and rising fuel prices, which are affecting corn's conversion into fuel. Dr. Abdel Aziz Al-Sayed from the Cairo Chamber of Commerce notes that poultry feed prices vary between 19,500 and 22,000 pounds, influenced by quality and freight costs.
