# 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.

## Why it matters

Recovering production and higher output point to ample domestic egg supply and pressure on farm-gate prices, while elevated retail prices suggest distribution margins are not tracking farm prices. Any investigation or changes to price information systems could affect pricing transparency and negotiating power in the supply chain.
