In India, there are around 50 lakh poultry farmers who are in poultry business since 1950 and due to the rising maize price, the poultry farmers are failing to deposit their bank installments and are getting bank corrupt. In the last 6 months, poultry farmers are forced to shut down their farms due to the sudden rise in the maize price from Rs.1250 per quintal to Rs.2250 per quintal.

They alleged that big stockists and hoarders have started hoarding maize seeing the further uptrend in maize prices. They further said the there was an increase in maize production from 20.24 million tonnes previous year to 21.47 million tonnes a current year.
