Why Egg Prices Remain High in Ukraine and What to Expect Next.

The Current State of Egg Prices in Ukraine

According to Novyny.live: As of February 19, 2026, the price of chicken eggs in Ukraine remains stubbornly high. The average cost for a pack of C1 category eggs has reached 84 UAH, translating to roughly 8 UAH per individual egg. Prices also vary across different retail chains. For instance, at the ATB supermarket, a single egg costs 5.89 UAH, with the cheapest pack priced at 76.70 UAH.

• At the Varus chain, the price per egg is 5.49 UAH
• At Fora - 5.89 UAH
• At Auchan - 5.70 UAH
• At MegaMarket - 7.50 UAH

The price for a dozen unpackaged eggs fluctuates between 50 and 60 UAH. Forecasts suggest chicken eggs could become approximately 15% more expensive in 2026. This persistent inflation in a basic food staple is a significant concern for household budgets.

Key Factors Influencing the Egg Market

“Seasonality, feed costs, and logistics will remain the key drivers for the egg market in 2026.”

The sustained high prices for chicken eggs in Ukraine point to potential underlying issues in the agricultural sector, particularly those linked to rising feed and transportation expenses. Given the predicted further price increases, consumers are likely to face additional financial pressure. This trend could also impact the overall inflation rate and the population's purchasing power, which are critical factors for the country's economic stability.
