Pressure on feed costs

Rising costs of key feed ingredients like corn, soybean, and wheat have accentuated pressures on pig farmers to optimize feed efficiencies and control input costs. Unpredictable global commodity price volatility in wheat and corn markets poses a major challenge. Issues like changing climate conditions affecting crop productions, export restrictions by producing countries, and crude oil price fluctuations strongly impact feed prices. Reliance on imported supplies also makes local feed prices subject to currency exchange rates. With tight margins in meat business, high ration costs can quickly erode profits.

At the same, protein sources for feeds also become costlier as demand rises from other livestock and aquafeed sectors. Thus, competition for supplies intensifies among users. This scenario forces farmers to closely monitor market trends and proactively manage procurement strategies.
