        "summary": "The Central Papua provincial government is planning to restrict the influx of eggs from outside the region to protect local poultry farmers in Nabire. A surge in cheaper eggs from Surabaya and Makassar is threatening the viability of local producers, who are already facing rising feed costs. Authorities are conducting a study to ensure any import restrictions do not disrupt local consumer supply while supporting the growth of domestic production.",
        "content": "<p>The Central Papua Provincial Government is moving to protect local\negg farmers in Nabire by limiting the supply of eggs from outside the\nregion, aiming to ensure local producers remain prosperous and gain\neconomic value. Brian Sendoh, Head of Trade at the Central Papua\nIndustry, Trade, Cooperatives and SMEs Office, stated in Nabire on\nTuesday that the large influx of external eggs is threatening local\npoultry businesses. \u201cThe provincial government is conducting a study and\nevaluation regarding stock availability and community egg needs before\nissuing a governor\u2019s circular on limiting the entry of eggs from outside\nthe region,\u201d he said. He explained that the study is intended to ensure\nthe policy does not disrupt public supply while providing space for\nlocal farmers to grow. His office is coordinating with the Regional\nInflation Control Team (TPID) of Central Papua and district governments,\nparticularly egg-producing areas like Nabire and Mimika. He noted that\nwhile local egg production in Central Papua is steadily increasing,\nfarmers face challenges because external supplies continue to enter in\nlarge volumes at cheaper prices. \u201cThe local government\u2019s policy focuses\nmore on empowering local egg entrepreneurs in Central Papua so their\nbusinesses can grow and develop,\u201d he added. The situation requires\nattention because rising animal feed prices have increased local\nfarmers\u2019 production costs. Meanwhile, eggs from outside the region,\nespecially from Surabaya and Makassar, are available in abundance at\nrelatively lower prices, affecting the competitiveness of local\nproducts. Yasor Victor Sawo, Head of the Nabire Regency Food Security\nOffice, confirmed that the supply of eggs from outside the region to\nNabire remains quite high. He noted that in May 2026, 30.9 tonnes of\neggs were brought in from Surabaya and Makassar, and by mid-June 2026,\nincoming supply had already reached 14.2 tonnes. According to data from\nthe Nabire Central Statistics Agency (BPS), household egg consumption in\nthe area reaches approximately 1,062,000 eggs, equivalent to 60 tonnes\nper month. Meanwhile, local egg production continues to rise as the\nnumber of layer chicken farmers in Nabire grows. One large farmer alone\ncan produce around 12,600 eggs per day, equivalent to 378,000 eggs or 22\ntonnes per month. Although the egg stock in Nabire is relatively\nabundant, the price at the trader level currently ranges from Rp70,000\nto Rp80,000 per rack of 30 eggs, up from the previous range of Rp60,000\nto Rp70,000 per rack. He explained that the price increase is influenced\nby rising production costs due to higher animal feed prices, meaning\nlocal farmers need policy support to ensure their produce is well\nabsorbed by the market. His office is coordinating with the Central\nPapua Provincial Government regarding measures to control external egg\nsupply, as the authority to issue permits for bringing eggs from outside\nthe region lies with the province.<\/p>",
