A reduction in the price of eggs

According to informations of MTI, the retail price of eggs has stopped and even decreased in some places before Easter.

The price of eggs, especially in the urban shops and markets amounted to 60 HUF per piece, while now the average price, ranges from 50 to 55 HUF.

The price decrease is due to the fact that huge amount of eggs have arrived out of the European Union from Turkey and the United States. Thus, the egg supply has slightly increased, which reduced the retail prices. True, the producer prices have not decreased.

In Hungary, about 20 percent of the annual egg consumption occurs in the Easter period – told Földi Péter, professional adviser of the the Poultry Product Council (BTT) to MTI.
