Highly pathogenic avian influenza has been confirmed at layer, duck and quail farms in Ganghwa, Jincheon and Paju, bringing the 2026/27 winter total to six poultry farm cases. South Korea's quarantine authority issued a nationwide high-risk alert on November 13, and culling across the affected farms totals roughly 423,000 birds.
Retail egg prices were flat at 7,243 won per 30 on November 13, while wholesale graded egg prices rose 2.5% and 2.9% over two days.
Culling of hundreds of thousands of birds and expanding farm cases tighten domestic egg supply, which is pushing wholesale prices up. The outbreak is modest in scale and is unlikely to move global feed grain or meal prices on its own.
