Egypt egg prices double in September
Egg prices in Egypt have surged by approximately 100% since the beginning of September 2026. The price of a tray of white eggs has risen from around 60 Egyptian pounds to between 110 and 120 pounds at the production level, and consumers are now paying between 130 and 140 pounds. This is a significant increase compared to May and June, when prices ranged between 55 and 60 pounds. The market experienced a price decline in previous months due to a surplus supply that reached about 135% of local consumption, combined with rising costs for feed and shipping. However, the market sharply rebounded with a surge in demand, especially during the school season. It is expected that egg prices will remain near current levels as demand continues to grow, despite the production surplus, which totaled around 16 billion eggs annually by the end of 2025.
