Egg price "bottomed out" rebounded slightly in the short term

The Northeast News March 16 reported that “the recent price of eggs has risen again.” Yesterday, at a supermarket in Kashiwa, an aunt told reporters while carrying eggs. The reporters visited some markets yesterday and saw that compared with the previous period, the price of eggs has risen. Currently, the price of eggs sold on the market is 3.3 yuan/kg to 3.5 yuan/kg.

It is understood that in early September last year, due to the increase in demand during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the amount of foreign transport and other factors, the average price of eggs in our city reached the highest point of 5.03 yuan / kg. Due to the optimistic price of egg prices, chicken farmers have made up the bar and caused the supply of eggs to exceed demand. The price of eggs has been falling all the way like a roller coaster. After 24 consecutive weeks of decline, the price of eggs has recently begun to "bottom out".

According to the data from the Price Monitoring Center of the Municipal Price Supervision Administration, the average price of eggs in our city reached a low of 3.25 yuan/kg on February 28. On February 29, prices began to rebound and rose to 3.28 yuan/kg. According to the data, since February 29, egg prices began to rise gradually with a few cents a day. Yesterday, the average price of eggs in our city was 3.39 yuan/jin, which was 1.5% higher than the previous day. In addition, although the price of eggs has recently risen, due to the high cost of feeding, chicken farmers are currently still in a state of compensation.

Why did the price of eggs begin to rebound? The price department analyzed that the prices of eggs in many cities in China began to rebound this week, which drove the city's egg prices to rise. In addition, with the opening of colleges and universities, the demand for eggs has also increased, and the situation of “supply exceeding demand” has eased relatively, prompting a slight rebound in egg prices in our city. Experts predict that the current egg consumption market is still in the off-season, and the number of laying hens remains large. In addition, as the weather gets warmer, egg production will increase and the market supply will increase in the future. The situation of “oversupply” of eggs will not be broken in time. Although the price of eggs has risen slightly in recent days, it is expected that the increase will not be too large.
