Egg prices are soaring again: expert names reasons and forecast.

Rising egg prices in Ukraine

According to inkorr.com: In Ukraine, a rise in egg prices is being noted again. The reasons for this are problems with the productivity of laying hens and rising feed costs. Analyst Maxim Hopka from the Ukrainian Club of Agrarian Business notes that this trend seems likely to continue.

'Today, a dozen eggs will cost between 73.5 and 77.5 hryvnias, but this is not the limit,' emphasized Hopka.

The expert explains that the main reason for the price increase is the high cost of feed, particularly corn. Additionally, the natural decrease in the productivity of birds in autumn affects price formation. This year, the price increase is occurring gradually, unlike the sharp fluctuations of last year when in November prices rose by 40% due to rising feed costs.

Forecasts for the future

According to the expert, in November-December, egg prices are likely to continue rising, but may eventually stabilize. Further price formation will depend on the yield of feed crops and the overall situation in poultry farms.

Ukrainians can prepare for rising egg prices in the coming months due to the mentioned problems, but according to experts, after November-December, price stabilization may be possible. This will largely depend on the situation with feed cultivation. Currently, egg prices continue to rise, so consumers should be prepared for this.
