# New crisis for producers: Poultry producers say falling egg and chicken prices put the sector below cost

> Egyptian poultry producers said weak offtake and rising supply have pushed egg and chicken prices below production costs, which are also elevated by feed and chick costs. They attributed additional egg-market pressure to the resumption of an export halt, while reporting white chicken at around 71 pounds per kilogram and white eggs mostly at 105–115 pounds per tray.

## Why it matters

Weak demand, higher domestic availability, and halted exports pressure chicken and egg prices, while higher feed costs squeeze producer margins. Below-cost prices may eventually discourage production, but the article also notes that some farmers are restarting production as chick prices fall.
