Eggs prices surge as intense heat cuts production

risingnepaldaily.com · 1 week ago

The price of eggs in Nepal has risen due to a drop in production caused by the summer heat. The Nepal Layers Poultry Farmers Association has increased the support price, with large eggs now priced at Rs 515 per crate and medium eggs at Rs 485 at the farm level. Consumer prices are set at Rs 25 per egg. The price hike is attributed to decreased production, increased market demand, labor shortages, and infection outbreaks among chickens.
