The global price of chicken is growing due to many reasons.

(Harga daging ayam dunia meningkat karena berbagai sebab.)

Ukraine is the biggest grower of corn and wheat, which is used to feed chicken. When the war in Ukraine started, it couldn’t export corn and wheat; then chicken feed became much more expensive. Another problem was bird flu happened in the main chicken countries like the US and UK. Since February in the US, farmers killed more than 38 million chickens and turkeys.

(Ukraina adalah negara penghasil jagung dan gandum terbesar, yang biasanya diberikan sebagai pakan ayam. Ketika perang di Ukraina mulai, negara ini tidak bisa mengekspor jagung dan gandum; lalu pakan ayam menjadi semakin mahal. Sebab lainnya adalah flu burung yang terjadi di negara-negara utama penghasil ayam seperti AS dan UK. Sejak Februari, para peternak membunuh lebih dari 38 juta ayam dan kalkun di AS.)

As the prices of chicken grow, countries want to save enough chicken for themselves. Some countries stopped chicken exports, but then the prices grew even more. In the past, chicken was very cheap, which is why it became so popular everywhere. Now, maybe it’ll cost as much as beef.

(Seiring naiknya harga ayam, negara-negara ingin menyimpan ayam untuk mencukupi kebutuhan sendiri. Sejumlah negara berhenti mengekspor ayam, tetapi kemudian harga ayam semakin naik. Dahulu, ayam sangat murah, karenanya ayam menjadi terkenal dimana saja. Kini, mungkin ayam akan semahal daging sapi.)

Kata-kata sulit: global (seluruh dunia), export (ekspor), beef (daging sapi).
