Chicken is the most consumed meat in the world; however, it’s more expensive than ever.

(Ayam merupakan daging yang paling banyak dikonsumsi di dunia; namun, kini semakin mahal daripada sebelumnya.)

So why is chicken getting so expensive? Ukraine is a major producer of corn and wheat, the main feed source for chicken. The war in Ukraine has upended this situation because it caused prices to increase to feed and care for chickens.

(Mengapa ayam semakin sangat mahal? Ukraina merupakan penghasil besar jagung dan gandum, sumber pakan utama bagi ayam. Perang di Ukraina telah menjungkirbalikkan situasi karena membuat harga pakan dan perawatan ayam meningkat.)

Besides the war, bird flu has occurred in important producing regions. As a result, farmers slaughtered millions of birds to stop the spread of flu.

(Selain perang, flu burung telah terjadi di wilayah-wilayah produksi penting. Hasilnya, para peternak membunuh jutaan unggas untuk menghentikan penyebaran flu ini.)

In the US alone, farmers killed over 38 million chickens and turkeys since February. As global prices rise, countries are safeguarding domestic supplies. In an extreme example, Malaysia stopped chicken exports from June 1st to ease the food price costs and safeguard their domestic supplies.

(Di AS sendiri, para peternak membunuh lebih dari 38 juta ayam dan kalkun sejak Februari. Seiring naiknya harga dunia, sejumlah negara melindungi pasokan dalam negeri. Sebagai contoh ekstrim, Malaysia menghentikan ekspor ayam sejak 1 Juni untuk meredakan harga bahan makanan dan melindungi pasokan dalam negeri mereka.)

Chicken’s affordability made it the world’s meat of choice; however, it may become as expensive as beef.

(Ketersediaan ayam membuatnya menjadi daging pilihan utama dunia; namun, ayam bisa jadi semahal daging sapi.)

Kata-kata sulit: upend (menjungkirbalikkan), safeguard (melindungi), domestic (dalam negeri).
