| Popis: | Smallholder layer-chicken farming in Indonesia is essential to ensure national food production, food security, and economic resilience.

The layer-chicken farms could adapt and maintain profitability amidst increasing operational costs. The findings showed that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted increasing feed costs (p |
