JAKARTA - The soaring price of chicken eggs must receive full attention from the government. This is because chicken eggs are one of the basic needs needed by the community. This was said by the Chairman of the DPD RI, AA LaNyalla Mahmud Mattalitti.

According to LaNyalla, the soaring price of chicken eggs shows the government's inability, especially the Ministry of Trade, in managing the supply chain for animal feed management and stabilizing market prices for basic commodities for the community.

"The oddity of the Ministry of Trade in stabilizing food prices shows a minimal performance and there is no seriousness in ensuring the supply chain for laying hens breeders," said LaNyalla, Friday, June 2.

As is known, the price of chicken eggs jumped from IDR 30 thousand per kilogram to IDR 34 thousand per kilogram. The increase was triggered by an increase and limited feed supply for laying hens.

"Because food problems, especially basic needs, are very vital and have often been reminded, because they can have an impact on disrupting real sector economic activities," said LaNyalla.

In addition to egg prices, the prices of a number of other commodities such as vegetables, fruits, fish and tofu tempeh are still unstable or continue to soar and fluctuate.

In East Java, according to the Chairman of the Blitar National People's Breeders Association (PPRN), East Java, farmers reduce egg production by up to 10-20 percent due to high feed prices. In fact, it is possible that there are farmers who are unable to continue their business.
