- The Minister of Agriculture (“Minister”) has introduced a new framework on policies for the procurement, distribution and oversight of broiler chickens and eggs intended for consumption (collectively referred to as “Chicken Products”) through the issuance of Regulation No. 10 of 2024 (“Regulation 10/2024”), which has been in force since 18 October 2024. Previously, matters relating to the procurement, distribution and oversight of Chicken Products were specifically addressed under Regulation of the Minister No. 32/PERMENTAN/PK.230/9/2017 (“Regulation 32/2017”), which has now been repealed and replaced.
- While maintaining that procurements of Chicken Products should continue to prioritize domestic production, as originally mandated under the framework of Regulation 32/2017, the new framework of Regulation 10/2024 has now clarified that said procurements encompass broiler chickens, seeds and live birds. These procurements should continue to be carried out in line with the following classifications: 1) Grand Parent Stock (“GPS”); 2) Parent Stock (“PS”); and 3) Final Stock (“FS”).
- In terms of the various parties involved in procurements of the above-described Chicken Products, Regulation 10/2024 has now expanded the list of parties originally outlined under Regulation 32/2017 to now include breeders of Great Grand Parent Stock (“GGPS”) and GPS. In this regard, in addition to supplying Chicken Products for self-use purposes, cooperatives and other farmers, Regulation 10/2024 now allows integrated business actors and breeders of PS to also produce broiler chickens for other independent business actors that have not obtained any PS.
- It should also be noted that all integrated and independent business actors, as well as cooperatives and farmers, that produce a minimum of 60,000 day-old-chicks (DOC) per week under the FS classification are now required to establish and/or operate poultry slaughterhouses for which veterinary control numbers have been secured and that are equipped with cold chain facilities. The previous threshold for the mandatory operation of such poultry slaughterhouses was set at a minimum of 300,000 chicks per week.
