enewspolar.com · 1 week ago

The price of eggs in Nepal has surged due to a drop in production caused by intense summer heat. The Nepal Layers Poultry Farmers Association has increased the support price, with large eggs now costing Rs 515 per crate and medium eggs Rs 485 at the farm level, while consumer prices are fixed at Rs 25 per egg. Factors contributing to the price hike include increased demand during holidays, labor shortages in the poultry industry, and infection outbreaks among chickens.
