  • First the vegetables, then the number of eggs and chicken?
  • A big bang as soon as the month of Shravan ends
  • Scissors for gourmets' pockets!

Chicken Price Hike: The impact of inflation is now visible in everything. Now the prices of food and drink are skyrocketing. The prices of everyday kitchen items have increased. But at the same time the prices of eggs have been rising steadily and in many places the retail rate has reached almost Rs 9 per egg. Egg prices have increased by approximately 35-40 percent in the last one year. Now the question arises, if eggs have become so expensive, can the prices of chicken also go up as the season ends.” (Price Hike)

Why are eggs becoming expensive?

The inflationary shock has now reached the eggs. One of the major reasons for the rise in egg prices is the rising cost of chicken feed. Maize is widely used in chicken feed. At the same time, the demand for corn for ethanol production in the country has also increased. This has made maize expensive for the poultry industry. Maize accounts for approximately 65-70 percent of the total cost of poultry farming. Hence, the rise in corn prices has a direct effect on the prices of eggs and poultry.

Heat also adds to the problem

The rising price of maize is not the only reason. This year's weather is equally responsible for all this. This year's intense heat and climate change have also had a major impact on chicken production. Extreme heat reduces the ability of hens to lay eggs and in some places even kills the hens. This reduces the number of eggs reaching the market, putting pressure on prices. Relatively, the prices of eggs increase.

Will chickens become expensive after Shravana?

A rise in chicken prices cannot be completely ruled out. Because rising prices of grains like corn and soybeans have also increased the cost of raising chickens. An increase in feed prices can affect the prices of both eggs and chicken. But this does not mean that chicken prices will go up as soon as Shravan ends. How much chicken prices will rise depends entirely on demand, supply, production and local market conditions. So even though inflationary pressure is increasing, there are different reasons for this.
