South Korea confirmed a highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak at a laying hen farm in Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do, the first of the winter. Authorities imposed access controls and culling, movement restrictions and disinfection, and the prime minister ordered nationwide quarantine strengthening.
Egg prices are already near 7,000 won for a 30-egg special pack.
If the virus spreads to other laying farms, egg supply would shrink and prices could climb again. Feed buyers face a poultry disease risk that could affect egg and layer feed demand.
