Determining the price of the lower limit and the upper limit of chicken meat from breeders produces a dilemma for small-scale independent farmers. Because the price that appears on the market sometimes falls and is far from the reference price. In addition, the cost of production is also at the upper limit of the upper limit of prices, so that farmers scream in arranging price strategies to reduce production costs. Based on a descriptive study of several independent farmers, the pricing should be balanced with the day old chicken (DOC) price policy and animal feed that must be stable. Independent breeders hope that alternative policies will be presented in tackling the deterioration in market prices and tend to be more profitable for integrated livestock companies. Thus, there needs to be a review of the policies rolled out by the minister of trade in embracing independent farmers, traders and consumers so that the trading system is stable.
