Egg Prices in Ukraine and the EU: A 2026 Price Comparison

According to Novyny.live: As of January 29, 2026, egg prices in Ukraine are experiencing some fluctuation. A pack of C1 category eggs costs between 82.16 and 83.95 UAH. Notably, prices in Ukraine remain significantly lower than those found in the European Union. This price gap comes as Ukraine's egg exports to Europe have surged dramatically.

Compared to the previous month, the price of eggs in Ukraine has risen by 0.94%. Prices vary across Ukrainian supermarket chains, with the minimum prices observed as follows:

• Silpo – 65.91 UAH
• Varus – 67.90 UAH
• Novus – 73.59 UAH
• Fora – 74.90 UAH
• Auchan – 75.90 UAH
• ATB – 76.70 UAH
• MegaMarket – 80.70 UAH
• Metro – 81 UAH

In 2025, Ukraine exported 2.05 billion chicken eggs, a 65.6% increase from 2024. The largest European buyers of Ukrainian eggs were:

• Spain (16.4%)
• United Kingdom (11.9%)
• Czech Republic (10.3%)
• Poland (10.0%)
• Croatia (8.7%)
• Israel (7.8%)

By the end of 2025, EU countries accounted for 73.4% of Ukraine's total egg export volume.

Egg Prices in the EU

Egg prices in the EU are considerably higher than in Ukraine. For instance, in Italy, a pack of 6 eggs costs 1.69 euros (approx. 86 UAH), while a 10-egg pack is 2.19 euros (112 UAH). In Hungary, egg pack prices range from 799 to 899 forints (107-120 UAH), and a pack of 30 eggs costs 2,355 forints (316 UAH). In Poland, the average price for 10 eggs is 11.49 zloty (140 UAH).

Therefore, at the start of 2026, Ukraine is seeing a stable but gradually increasing price trend for eggs, while prices in EU nations remain substantially higher.

Against the backdrop of rising exports of Ukrainian eggs to the European Union, which continues to strengthen Ukraine's position in the international agricultural market, egg prices in Ukraine remain competitive.

This indicates positive trends for domestic producers, as demand for Ukrainian products in Europe grows. The context of rising prices in Ukraine, even though they are still lower than European ones, may be an important factor for consumers and businesses involved in the egg trade.
