Indonesia has started destroying eggs, to stop plummeting prices for live poultry, an official said on Wednesday.
“There’s an oversupply of chickens and we’re trying to reduce it,” said Sugiyono, Director for Animal Husbandry in the agriculture ministry.
The eggs – which are fertilised and ready for hatching – will be destroyed by poultry farmers under the supervision of the agriculture ministry.
The government expects to destroy a total of 10 million hatching eggs over the next several weeks. The policy will be reviewed every two weeks, Sugiyono added.
Live bird prices have slumped to as low as 9,000 rupiah (less than 1 dollar) per kilogram from 19,000 rupiah earlier this year, according to the Indonesian Association of Poultry Traders.

And some people haven't eaten chicken since bubu became president.

South Africans should come and read this news. If supply is higher than demand, then the product becomes cheap. If you want Nigerians to stop selling drugs, you too stop buying. When it becomes cheap, they will have to leave the business. But crack head junkies keeps making the demand higher than supply.

why not use the eggs for making other products like mayonnaise or something?
