Abstract:
This research aims to analyze the factors that influence the demand and supply
of chicken eggs in South Sulawesi. The research method used was a literature
study with data sourced from Central Statistics Agency data and other sources
in the form of scientific journals, scientific articles, and other valid information
from print and digital media. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive
analysis techniques. Based on the data obtained, it is known that the
development of the purebred chicken population and demand for chicken eggs
in South Sulawesi from 2018-2022 fluctuates and tends to increase. along with
population growth in South Sulawesi. The production of purebred chicken eggs
in South Sulawesi over the last 5 years has fluctuated. The number of egg
production increased significantly by 38% from 2018 to 2019 and decreased in
2020 and 2021. Then the number of egg production increased again by 6.49%
from 2021 to 2022. This happened because consumer demand for purebred
chicken eggs increased. Thus, it can be said that people need purebred chicken
eggs to meet their needs for animal protein sources. Factors that influence the
demand and supply of broiler eggs in South Sulawesi are fluctuating egg prices,
producer profits, raw materials (feed and seeds), demand, and disease
outbreaks.
