South Korea’s egg producers say farm-gate prices have fallen while retail prices have risen during a highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak. Farm-gate prices for extra-large eggs were about 4,800–5,000 won per tray, compared with a consumer price of 7,354 won; the association says layer numbers and production have recovered to record levels and is calling for scrutiny of distribution margins and pricing information.
The widening gap suggests distribution costs or margins, rather than a simple shortage of eggs, are driving high consumer prices. Record layer numbers could support supply and pressure farm-gate prices, while outbreak-related culling remains a supply risk.
