Egg prices fall at the farm and rise at the consumer level… “Investigate the cause”

South Korea’s Layer Hen Association said farm-gate egg prices were about 160 won each while the consumer price was 7,354 won per 30-egg tray, and called for investigation of the distribution-stage price structure. The government reported that layer flocks and egg output had recovered, with November production forecast above a year earlier; recent bird-flu culls were about 430,000 hens, around 0.5% of the flock.
