The market is reasonably stable, slightly more eggs available and now covering demand, probably no further price increases before Christmas but doesn’t look at this stage like any big price drops.
Holland our friend over there is experiencing fairly sever problems, every time an AI infection is confirmed there is a complete shut down on egg and poultry movements for three days.
This also means a lot more eggs are going for processing, but with the world restrictions resulting from AI 20% of their market has been denied.
Holland is expecting price increases but with their marketing problems are hesitant at how much.
Ukraine, Avengard one of the main egg producing companies has announced that they are having to close down 2 production sites of 1.5 million hens because of the war situation.

Initially this was to be eggs for processing, most likely to Holland, take 3 million hens out of production in the Ukraine there is no surplus to export, but might require imports from Holland, hence the ????
Spain, there M.A.F.E. and the EU are funding a joint information campaign (piece included) costing 1.1 million Euros as only 2% of the population supposedly aware of EU egg coding, we suspect a bit of artistic licence and there is probably one extra digit missing, but if it gets EU funding for your country why not, should we indulge in a bit of artistry in our figures too.
But we like their his and her logos.
