There is a certain price dynamics on the Ukrainian egg market due to various economic and seasonal factors.
In the first half of November 2023, the average cost of a dozen eggs was about 61 UAH, and now they can be purchased for an average of 63 UAH, and with more sophisticated packaging, the price can reach 70-72 UAH.
This was reported on the air of “Ukrainian Radio” by an expert of the “Economic Discussion club” Oleg Pendzin.
The expert named several reasons for the price increase:
- Increase in cost price due to rising feed prices: this year, due to crop failure and smaller volumes of grain (corn in particular), the cost of feed has increased, which has increased the cost of keeping birds in factories.
- Seasonal influence: since the onset of cold weather, egg production in households has decreased, which reduces the overall supply of eggs on the market and stimulates price growth.
It is expected that on the eve of the winter holidays, demand for eggs will traditionally increase, which may lead to a further increase in prices, most likely to the level of 70+ UAH per dozen.
Earlier it was reported that in Ukrainian stores and markets, egg prices have significantly soared.
