Wholesale egg prices in Taiwan reached NT$39 per catty, an eight-month high, while the laying hen population stayed above normal at about 37 million. Industry sources suspect hidden avian influenza spread or deliberate price hikes, though Changhua county officials say no laying farm there has shown avian flu symptoms.
Egg prices are rising even as feed prices fall, which points to lower laying rates from disease or tight supply; if avian flu spreads to layer farms, feed demand from the sector could be disrupted.
