Ukrainian Egg Prices: January 2026 Data

According to Novyny.live: Data for January 2026 shows a renewed increase in egg prices across Ukraine. While prices fell at the start of the month, they began climbing again in the second half. The average price for a pack of C1 category eggs now ranges from 82.16 to 83.95 UAH. On an annual basis, the price has risen by 12.83%, reflecting a broader trend of increasing costs for this staple food item.

The consumer price index for eggs reached 100.88% in January 2026. For comparison, this index stood at 104.26% in December 2025 relative to November of that same year. The average monthly price for eggs in January 2026 was 81.92 UAH, a significant jump from 72.60 UAH recorded in January 2025. This highlights a substantial year-on-year increase for consumers.

Expert Forecasts and Supermarket Prices

Expert Volodymyr Chyzh noted that for 2026, given a substantial rise in electricity costs and increased feed prices, an additional price hike of at least 15% can be expected. This could influence the future pricing dynamics for eggs and other related goods. The rising cost of energy and agricultural inputs is a common pressure point affecting food prices globally.

Current egg prices in major supermarket chains illustrate a wide market range:

• Varus — 65.70 UAH
• Silpo — 65.91 UAH
• Fora — 68.90 UAH
• Novus — 73.59 UAH
• Ashan — 75.90 UAH
• Metro — 76 UAH
• ATB — 76.70 UAH
• MegaMarket — 84 UAH

This price variation across retailers provides consumers with options, potentially allowing them to find more affordable choices based on their budget.

The increase in egg prices is part of a wider trend of rising food costs in Ukraine, driven by several factors including higher production expenses. Considering expert forecasts, further price increases for eggs may pose a challenge for consumers already navigating inflationary pressures in the economy. The diversity of supermarket pricing, however, offers some opportunity for shoppers to seek out more favorable options according to their financial circumstances.
