JAKARTA - Secretary General of the Archipelago Poultry Farmers Association, Kadma Wijaya, said that the increase in the price of broiler eggs in recent days was due to rising demand, both individually and for entertainment venues.
"Demand has increased, cake-making has started to increase, entertainment activities have started, and shopping centers are already busy," Kadma said as quoted by Antara, Monday, December 28.
In addition, Kadma said that the existence of social assistance for eggs was also said to be the driving force for the increase in egg prices, which in some areas reached Rp. 34,000 per kilogram.
Kadma added that the production of independent farmers, which was reduced by 50-60 percent due to losses suffered when egg prices fell last July, also triggered an increase in egg prices.
"Production has decreased due to the impact of losses suffered since egg prices were cheap at the end of last July," said Kadma.
The decline in egg products was also due to poor feed quality due to the difficulty of getting corn feed.
According to Kadma, farmers hope that egg prices are stable at both the farmer and consumer levels. However, he asked the government to keep an eye on egg farmers.
"The hope from farmers is that egg prices are stable at the farmer level and at the consumer level, the key is in the government. So that the government has the will to protect its people," concluded Kadma.
