Poultry - Initiation
- In general, chicken consumption has a positive correlation with GDP growth. The increase in per capita income will increase people's purchasing power of relatively affordable protein sources compared to other protein sources. Up to now, chicken per capita consumption in Indonesia is 10.5 kg/year, which is still very low when compared to chicken/capita consumption in neighbouring countries such as Malaysia and Brunei.


- The growth of the middle-income people has experienced an increasing trend in recent years. The growth of middle-income people will increase the consumption of a more affordable source of protein, namely chicken


- In 2021F, we expect the poultry industry to grow positively again as the domestic economy recovers and per capita income in 2021F


- the government has attempted to prevent oversupply by re-implementing chicken culling through a cross-monitoring approach. Production adjustment instructions are carried out in 3 stages, including cutting HE (hedge eggs) 19 days, delay HE settings, and PS (parent stock) cutting. 


-We initiate the Indonesian poultry sector with overweight. Our preference for companies will be the ones leading market share, have strong margins and robust growth prospect. The industry is currently facing various hurdles such as oversupply, lower price, and the volatility of raw materials. However, we believe that the poultry sector in Indonesia offers tremendous growth potential for both the short and medium-term.
