Additional Support
Producers in Indonesia also require financial and marketing support, as the market for cage-free eggs remains limited. Consumers tend to focus on price and cage-free eggs are often more expensive. As a result, marketing efforts are currently targeted at a niche audience. Financial aid is crucial for business expansion, while training on cage-free system maintenance is essential.
Challenges
The high cost of poultry feed drives production expenses, contributing to the higher price of cage-free eggs. Additionally, public awareness of animal welfare needs to be expanded to grow the market for cage-free products.
Upcoming plans
Several farms are working toward obtaining the national NKV (Veterinary Control Number) certification. Farms that have not yet fully transitioned to cage-free systems aim to significantly reduce their use of conventional cages within the next five years and are exploring animal welfare certifications as part of their strategy.
