According to the 2025 food balance projection from the National Food Agency (Bapanas), broiler egg production is expected to reach 6.4 million tonnes, with a monthly demand of around 518,000 tonnes. This indicates that Indonesia's chicken egg production will continue to experience a surplus. The Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan) will continue to ensure a balanced supply and stable prices to protect both farmers and consumers. However, countries such as the United States and France, as well as other European countries, have experienced a shortage of egg supply, which has caused prices to skyrocket due to poultry disease outbreaks and rising production costs. Indonesia's current surplus in chicken egg production creates a valuable opportunity for the country to consider exporting to countries experiencing supply constraints. Indonesia plans to export 1.6 million eggs per month to the United States, based on a commodity balance. However, the government still prioritises supplying domestic needs, given the free nutritious meals programme. Exports are to be considered in case of excess supply.
