South Korea’s consumer price for a 30-egg pack of large eggs reached 7,354 won on November 7, up 7% from a week earlier and 7.1% above October’s average. Authorities reported avian influenza at layer farms in Yeoncheon and Yeoju and a broiler duck farm in Jangheung, including a large Yeoju farm with about 260,000 laying hens, and strengthened inspection and movement-control measures.
Outbreaks and movement controls threaten egg-laying capacity, tightening egg supply and driving prices higher; continued spread could also raise costs for egg-using food products. Poultry losses can reduce feed demand in affected areas.
