# "Prices' star pupil" eggs hit record high, national average 312 yen; farm cost increases behind it, Oita

> The national average retail price for a 10-pack of eggs rose to a record 312 yen in October, up from 259 yen two years earlier, and has stayed above 300 yen since the start of 2026. Feed costs for poultry farms rose sharply in November, with compound feed prices up 4,000 to 5,000 yen per tonne due to higher transport costs linked to the Middle East situation.

## Why it matters

Higher compound feed prices from freight costs raise layer production costs, which pushes egg prices up. Avian flu risk this season could tighten egg supply further.
