Sri Lanka’s livestock producers association said egg prices could rise to Rs. 45–47 by December, from a market price of Rs.
40 on November 9. It attributed the outlook to a nearly 20% increase in production input costs, stronger demand from tourist hotels, and the possibility that some farmers will sell laying hens to recover losses.
Higher production costs and demand, alongside a smaller layer flock if hens are culled, could tighten egg availability and lift prices. The association also urged the government to remove taxes on eggs and chicken, but no tax change has been announced.
