Why Ayam Cemani Chickens Are So Expensive | So Expensive | Insider Business

Ayam Cemani is a rare breed of chicken that is completely black, including its organs, muscles, and bones. This chicken originates in Indonesia, where many locals keep the bird as a treasured pet. Cemani, pronounced che-MA-ni in Indonesian and seh-MA-ni by many English speakers, comes from Sanskrit and means “jet black.” As a result of a condition called fibromelanosis, Cemani chickens have 10 times as much melanin as most chicken breeds. While the price varies, a high-quality Ayam Cemani can sell for over $6,000, and a single egg can fetch as much as $16. But what makes these chickens so special? And why are they so expensive?

But there's no term such as Cemani chicken for Ayam Cemani chickens. It's the same as no one in Indonesia would call bulldogs for bullanjing.

In India also, we have this breed of chicken, locally known as "Kadaknath". Their origin lies in the Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh province and nearby Chattisgarh province.

Regarding the pricing in Gaya, Bihar it costed me INR 900 per kg alive, and if you talk about the meat only then it reached approx INR 1200 per kg.

Haiya! What you expect? They lazy people.

[@jojon3116]

The ridiculous price and high demand is due to beliefs that cemani chicken is some kind of spiritual medium. Java people used to be Hindu, and they use it for spiritual ceremony. Today the demand for the chicken to be use in spiritual ceremony is still there but not that many because people of Java have become mostly Muslim and Christian.

[@menggala30071981]

Actually it is not truly related with Hinduism, before Hinduism and Buddhism in java island there is a local belief, just like Shinto that mixed with Buddhism in Japan, the local belief for Javanese people is kejawen that mixed with Hinduism

[@Jndlove]

It is very absurd

[@piereandreturner2818]

I can tell it's Indonesia simply from the title since ayam is actually chicken in both Indonesian and Malay while Cemani is native to Java Island. Ayam means Chicken, Cock, Rooster, Hen, Biddy, Chick, Capon, or whatever name you had in English for the animal. If you need to be specific, just attach an explanatory term to it. By the way, Ayam Cemani Chicken is kind of redundant, and the direct translation to English would be "Cemani Chicken Chicken."

[@instaofvish]

We also have this chicken in India 🇮🇳, (Kerala), we call it karinkozhi( means black hen). And it's expensive here in Kerala.

[@xiraoit9342]

Kadaknath, Karinkozhi, .... Bla Bla Bla Is not the same bruh with Cemani!

[@chocojellys]

when i was still in elementary school i remember coming home and there's 5 of ayam cemani in front of my garage. i was freaked out, later i found out my grandpa bought all of them and just gave them away for one of my uncle. back then idk how expensive they were

[@automechanicalrooster]

These chickens have their own apartments, while most chickens are in a warehouse with a million other chickens lol.

Some people say it taste bad, some say it taste better than regular and some say it taste just like regular but leaner. Maybe there are a lot more varieties than people realize though they all look the same.

[@serapheid3669]

It's funny to me that I learned of these chickens at a very young age due to an old anime called Cooking Master Boy. Ironic considering these chickens aren't raised to be eaten as confirmed in the vid.

[@menggala30071981]

The inflation of this chicken price is beyond my imagination, 1 or 2 years ago in one of youtube channel said one chicken cemani can cost you about 5000 US$

You can just shorten the name to cemani chicken, cause the word "ayam' already means chicken. So the title is like saying: chicken cemani chicken~

Maybe I'm nuts- but these chickens are about $50 here in Eastern USA. I see them at swaps all the time, though they're snatched up very quickly. My best friend purchased a trio for $150 a couple years back.

[@helsinki]

Did you not watch the video? They already address why Cemani chickens are waaaay cheaper in USA. Its because they are not pure breeds compared to Indonesian ones.

[@slewone4905]

@@helsinki they aren't purebreed in Indonesia. There is no certificate. and purebreed is not always desirable. There is a white horse breed in California. YOu can't have a pure breed, because if you do, it dies. For this breed to survive, it needs to breed with a non-white horse.

Thank you for your video. Now I believe that creating another source of income in these difficult times is the best thing to do. Not only does it guarantee returns. it also helps you plan and save for future expenses. It can be quite difficult to make an investment without sound knowledge or guardians. Which is why it is available to work with an investment advisor. Like Mrs Mildred FX Rickenbacker.

While Crypto's wild price movements might seem random, they are often driven by the same fundamental catalysts as in the traditional markets. Some claim bitcoin is impervious to shocks that affect global finance; it's a hedge against things like inflation and a sure bet against tides of uncertainty. Moves within traditional finance can boost or burn bitcoin's price because they determine how easy it is for financial epicenters like Wall Street to invest in bitcoin... Keeping all this in mind, it is important to trade with the night strategy when going into the crypto world. Mildred fx has been doing a great job reviewing all chart, trade and techniques on BTC which has enhance the growth of my portfolio to 17 BTC lately.
