Egg Prices Climb Again: A Cost Comparison Across Major Supermarkets.

Egg Prices on the Rise Once More

According to Novyny.live: Shoppers in Ukraine are witnessing another increase in the price of chicken eggs, a staple item that is also becoming less available on supermarket shelves. As of January 27, 2026, the cost of eggs varies significantly between retailers, with a notable year-over-year price hike. The average price for a pack of C1 category eggs is currently between 82.16 and 83.95 UAH. This trend is part of a broader inflationary pattern, as indicated by a consumer price index of 100.91% for January 2026.

Compared to December 2025, the price of eggs has risen by 0.91%, while the annual increase stands at 12.89%. The cost per egg in major supermarket chains is as follows:

• Varus: 4.99 UAH
• Auchan: 5.60 UAH
• ATB: 5.65 UAH
• Fora: 5.65 UAH
• MegaMarket: 7.50 UAH

The cheapest packaged eggs are found at Varus for 67.90 UAH, with a ten-pack of loose eggs costing 49.90 UAH. A budget pack at ATB is priced at 76.70 UAH, at Auchan for 76.20 UAH, at Fora for 68.90 UAH, and at MegaMarket for 80.70 UAH.

Broader Market Impact

In light of rising egg prices, consumers should note that other food items, such as avocados, are also projected to become more expensive in Ukraine, with a potential 20% increase by the end of February 2026. These price adjustments reflect wider trends in the food market that directly affect household budgets. Price volatility for basic goods is a common concern in many economies experiencing inflation.

The increase in egg prices in Ukraine may point to underlying challenges in the agricultural sector, which could be linked to fluctuations in the cost of animal feed, energy, and other essential resources.

Amstid ongoing inflation and the rising cost of other groceries, monitoring price trends is crucial for consumers as it impacts daily expenses and purchasing decisions. It is also important to recognize that price changes for a staple like eggs can have a ripple effect on other products, potentially increasing pressure on the overall consumer market.
