Egg Prices Soar

Egg prices have increased significantly, with retail prices now ranging between ₹7 and ₹8 per egg. Poultry farmers attribute the rise to a decline in egg production after extreme summer temperatures caused the death of a large number of chickens, reducing the overall supply in the market.

In addition, poultry feed prices have risen due to global supply disruptions linked to ongoing geopolitical conflicts, increasing production costs for farmers. With lower production and higher input costs, industry experts believe egg prices may remain elevated until supply stabilises.
