Farmers have expressed their concerns about the challenges in poultry farming, particularly the rising cost of feed, which significantly impacts their profitability. The farmers emphasized that while poultry farming is a profitable venture, the cost of setting up and the consistent increase in the price of feed pose significant challenges.

Joy Felix, one of the farmers, highlighted the issue of artificial scarcity and price hikes in poultry feed, especially during the fourth quarter when there is increased demand for birds during the Christmas season. This creates a situation where feed producers have the advantage to maximize profits, leaving farmers with higher expenses and lower bargaining power with buyers.
