webfact Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Thailand runs short of eggs By THE NATION The price of eggs has increased due to hoarding by people worried about the Covid-19 virus – and the rising summer temperature making hens less productive. Songkhla farmer Boonserm Kaewthongrat said this week his 6,000 hens have slumped to about 4,500 eggs a day. Phongsathorn Karabun, an egg trader in Lampang’s Ban Fon market, said the price has risen by Bt10-Bt15 per dozen, but he hasn’t witnessed any hoarding. The Commerce Ministry, aiming to resolve the price and supply issues, banned egg exports for seven days beginning on Thursday (March 26). “Due to the Covid-19 situation, domestic consumption has risen by 2-3 times, causing shortages in some areas,” Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said. “The seven-day ban is a trial period. If the situation does not improve by next week, we may consider extending it.” Source: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30384927 -- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2020-03-27 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KhunBENQ Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 Yesterday four cartons of the smallest size (4) left at Makro at 9 AM. A mate tried to buy today to no avail. Seems the whole district is emptied. Forgot where I read it, but some say it was triggered by some "expert doctor" recommending eggs as clean food in times of Corona. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lopburi3 Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 It was reported elsewhere on forum that another reason for shortage is they have been bought up and are being sold on FB at profits by hand sanitizer and face masks folks. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Moonlover Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 Once again village life scores a hit. Madam Moon's sister-in-law has a very productive brood of hens and we get first pick before the eggs leave for market. We're very unlikely to go short. Which is just as well 'cos I luv 'em. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWRC Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Why do folks buy eggs at Macro or any store for that matter. I'm sure most if not all provinces have the people selling from their homes on the roadside. Eggs are fresh, out of the nest that day and straight to purchaser.
