Egg prices steady rising due to supply shortage and higher production costs

[snoop1130]

 

Egg prices in Thailand are steadily climbing and have been adjusted five times between January last year and May this year, due mainly to increased production costs and unusually hot weather, which results in fewer and smaller eggs being produced by laying hens.

 

According to the Egg Merchant Trade Association and the Association of Hen-Egg Farmers, Traders and Exporters, the ex-farm price of eggs was adjusted on January 10th, 2022 to 3 baht each, from 2.80 baht, then to 3.30 baht on March 17th and 3.40 baht on March 24th of the same year, then to 3.60 baht on March 23rd this year and to 3.80 baht on May 15th.

 

Based on size, egg prices today (Tuesday) in markets and grocery stores are:

 

• 30 baht/each for No 0 eggs, or 129 baht per pack of 30
• 10 baht/each for No 1 eggs, or 123 baht per pack
• 90 baht/each for No 2 eggs, or 117 baht per pack
• 80 baht/each for No 3 eggs, or 114 baht per pack

My local shop adjusts the egg prices daily... mostly upwards.

Given the fact, that eggs are a local product by local chicken fed with locally milled feed mill food ...... but maybe the chicken kings of CP-group can answer that. 
Egg prices are like the stock exchange, they can change daily - to the benefit of the chicken? 

Another interesting discovery is, that eggs sold in wholesale markets are usually cheaper than the mom and pop shop around the corner selling eggs laid by their own "in-house" hen ...... your call!
