# Egg prices surge in Kerala: 3 rupee hike in two weeks

> Egg prices in Kerala rose by about 2 rupees per chicken egg and 3 rupees per duck egg over two weeks, to 9.50 and up to 18 rupees respectively. Traders cite Christmas and New Year cake-making demand, higher poultry feed costs, and maize tightness linked to ethanol production, and expect prices to keep rising.
