Poultry industry takes the initiative to cultivate the oilseed crop on 300 acres this year
After a gap of over a decade-and-a-half, farmers in Tamil Nadu are likely to take up soyabean cultivation from this year.
Like farmers in other parts of the country, Tamil Nadu growers have been buoyed by current high prices for soyabean. Tamil Nadu’s Broiler Coordination Committee (BCC) is taking the initiative to reintroduce soyabean in the State.
“We are likely to buy soyabean seeds and help farmers to grow soyabean. We will also help them by providing the prices that prevail in the market,” said Vangili Subramaniam, President, Tamil Nadu Poultry Farmers’ Marketing Society.

Poultry farmers want an increase from around ₹4 to ₹12 a kg.
After more than a week of disruption in chicken trade over a dispute over increasing minimum price for poultry farmers, supply in the State is stabilising even as chicken price is expected to go up marginally in the coming days.
The poultry farmers, who have a contract with poultry companies as “integrated poultry farmers” had refused to lift new hatchings and had disallowed the companies to lift birds for supply to the market, are demanding an increase in minimum price from around ₹4 to ₹12 a kg. However, after a mediation by the Animal Husbandry Department officials where an interim rise of ₹7.5 per kg was accepted, the supply is being normalised.
