        "summary": "East Java remains the dominant leader in Indonesia's layer chicken population, significantly outpacing Central and West Java. The national poultry population is on an upward trend, driven by rising demand and the government's Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme.",
        "content": "<p>Layer chickens serve as one of the primary pillars of the chicken egg\nsupply in Indonesia. While the population is spread across various\nregions, it remains concentrated in several key production\nprovinces.<\/p>\n<p>According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), East\nJava is the province with the largest layer chicken population in 2025,\nreaching 136.91 million birds. It is followed by Central Java with 54.82\nmillion birds and West Java with 48.21 million birds.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, North Sumatra has emerged as one of the main production\ncentres outside Java, with a layer chicken population of 39.49 million\nbirds.<\/p>\n<p>The dominance of East Java is quite striking. With a population\nexceeding 100 million birds, this province is one of the most critical\nregions in supporting the national layer egg industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indonesia\u2019s Layer Chicken Population Rises<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nationally, the layer chicken population stood at 3-86.13 million\nbirds in 2021. After a temporary decline in 2022, numbers have increased\nin the following years.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, the national layer chicken population reached 410.17 million\nbirds, and continued to grow until reaching 426.12 million birds in\n2025.<\/p>\n<p>This population increase is occurring alongside rising egg demand,\nwhich has been further bolstered by the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG)\nProgramme. The Ministry of Agriculture estimates that the requirement\nfor layer eggs for the MBG in 2025 will reach 115,528 tonnes, in\naddition to the regular demand of approximately 6.36 million tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>This additional requirement makes eggs one of the key commodities\nbeing monitored to strengthen the supply for the MBG programme. The\ngovernment is also encouraging increased egg usage within the MBG menus\nand the absorption of produce from local farmers.<\/p>\n<p>However, the increase in the layer chicken population cannot be\nattributed entirely to the MBG programme. The population trend was\nalready on the rise before the programme was widely implemented. The MBG\nis more accurately viewed as an additional demand factor that increases\nthe need for production capacity and egg supply.<\/p>",
