Egg prices in autumn may rise due to the end of seasonal supplies from small producers, but large poultry farms plan to maintain production. Experts believe that the dynamics of egg prices will depend on the price of feed and the corn harvest.
Maxym Hopka, analyst of the 'Ukrainian Club of Agrarian Business': 'When it becomes clear what the price of feed will be, then this will determine the further dynamics of egg price changes.'
The exact forecasted prices for eggs can be determined at the end of October, when the corn harvest becomes known. In 2025, prices may also affect the dynamics of egg prices due to the expected corn harvest. Last year, the increase in egg prices was related to a feed shortage for poultry due to poor harvest.
Summary
The Ukrainian egg market may expect a price increase in the second half of September due to the end of supplies from small producers. However, much will depend on feed prices and the corn harvest, which will be known by the end of the year. The situation should be closely monitored, as it may affect the performance of farms and consumers.
