# Korea Egg Producers Call for Transparency Amid Diverging Farm-Gate and Consumer Egg Prices

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
