The prices of eggs of all kinds have seen a decline in the markets, with a value between 2 and 3 pounds per carton, during the trading today, Saturday, compared to the levels of yesterday, Friday, according to data on the official page of the Union of Poultry Producers.
Egg prices today
The price of a carton of white eggs was around 68.75 pounds, down by two pounds.
The price of a carton of red eggs was around £ 70.75, down by £ 3.
The price of a municipal egg carton reached around £ 70.75, a decrease of £ 3.
Mahmoud Anani, head of the Union of Poultry Producers, told Masrawy that egg prices have fallen today due to a lack of demand for eggs in light of their high prices, which have led to an increase in supply and a price drop.
Egg prices have experienced a significant increase in the markets in the last period due to the shortage of fodder in the markets and high egg prices following the documentary credit crisis, which has led to a delay in the entry of feed from ports to markets, according to previous statements by poultry farmers and producers.
Egypt produces about 1.6 billion birds per year and this production reaches self-sufficiency of about 95% and the gap between production and consumption does not exceed 5%, according to data from the Poultry Division.
