Farm-gate price of eggs goes upThe egg farmers’ cooperative network has raised the farm-gate price of mixed chicken eggs from 3.20 baht to 3.40 baht per egg, or six baht more per tray, effective on Monday. Chanuwat Siwamok, CEO of Kings Eggs (Thailand) Co, said the price increase is due to several factors including low prices for an extended period and rising production costs especially from higher animal feed costs that add pressure on small and medium businesses. He said high temperatures have also begun to affect egg-laying hens and egg production, reducing supply in the market. Demand, however, has increased as some consumers turn to eggs as an affordable source of protein amid concerns over the cost of living following the fighting in the Middle East, he said. He said future egg prices will depend largely on weather conditions and feed costs, which could be influenced by global energy and commodity prices.
