Egg prices fell across main producing regions including Beijing, Shandong, Hebei, Henan and the Northeast after the Double 11 restocking wave faded, with brown-egg prices down about 0.1 yuan per catty. Analysts expect layer inventories to rebound about 0.8-1.6% by late November as old hens are culled slowly, and see prices sliding toward about 3.80-4.00 yuan per catty before a possible year-end recovery.
Rising layer numbers and weak off-season demand point to softer egg prices and thinner producer margins in China, which can reduce cull-hen and egg-product demand. Egg prices are a minor direct driver for feed buyers, but lower margins may slow flock expansion and feed purchases.
