Jakarta, December 2025 — The Ministry of Agriculture of Indonesia has announced a major investment initiative to bolster the country’s poultry sector by allocating over US $1 billion toward the development of modern poultry feed production infrastructure. Under this strategic plan, the government will build state-of-the-art feed mills across the archipelago to address rising feed demand, support poultry producers, and secure a stable supply chain for the nation’s rapidly growing poultry industry. The move comes as Indonesia anticipates significant increases in domestic poultry consumption and production needs in the coming years. The investment is structured in phases, beginning with the construction of a series of advanced animal feed mills, which are expected to improve feed availability, reduce dependence on expensive imports, and enhance the resilience of poultry supply chains. Priority regions for development include eastern and under-served islands to help balance production capacity nationwide. In addition to expanding physical infrastructure, the Ministry plans to implement price-support measures aimed at stabilizing key feed ingredient costs, including corn—a primary input for poultry feed that accounts for a large share of animal feed consumption. This effort seeks to protect farmers’ income and ensure fair feed costs for poultry producers and consumers alike. Officials say that the ambitious investment is part of broader efforts to strengthen food security, support agricultural growth, and create a more competitive and sustainable livestock sector, which is central to meeting Indonesia’s rising protein demand.
