Indonesia is facing a problem of high egg production but low consumption, leading to unstable prices. The country's egg consumption per capita is low and the national stunting rate is still high. The uneven distribution of national egg production, due to the country's geographical conditions, also contributes to the price fluctuations. Setyo Wasisto of PT Widodo Makmur Perkasa suggests a strategy to increase consumption and stabilize prices. He advocates for the establishment of an egg processing factory in the country.

Domestic business actors are ready to process the surplus eggs into frozen liquid eggs.
