Egg prices at 5-year low threaten producers

Egg markets in Egypt have experienced a significant decline in prices, reaching their lowest level in approximately five years. This drop is due to a production increase of up to 40% since the end of 2025, leading to an oversupply and a natural decrease in prices. Producers are warning of substantial losses, as the cost of producing a tray of eggs is around 115 Egyptian pounds, while it is selling for less than half that, threatening the sustainability of the egg industry and causing some farmers to consider exiting the market. Proposed solutions include opening new export markets to reduce the surplus and mitigate losses.
