Ukraine: Sharp rise in egg prices
7 November, 2024
In October, egg prices in Ukraine surged by 60%, with the cost per dozen jumping from 40-45 UAH (0.97-1.09 USD) to 50-75 UAH (1.21-1.81 USD). Producers attribute this increase to rising costs of feed, energy, and other expenses. Typically, egg prices are lowest during the spring and summer months. However, as cold weather sets in, demand rises while supply diminishes, resulting in higher prices. Additionally, production costs have escalated due to the increased price of feed.
