The article explains that the prices of local eggs in the Kingdom experienced a significant decline during July 2026, with the average cost of a tray of eggs reaching 17.6 riyals. This represents a monthly decrease of 4.9% compared to June and a 4.7% decline from the same month last year. Paradoxically, the price of a tray of eggs has become nearly equal to the price of a fresh local chicken weighing 900 grams, which also recorded a price of 17.6 riyals. This links the value of eggs to that of fresh chicken and reflects a substantial drop in the prices of basic food components. This decrease is part of a broader trend of price drops in some other food products, such as grapes and tomatoes, while prices for others like potatoes and carrots have increased. The change in egg and chicken prices impacts household purchasing power, as the value of a tray of eggs now nearly equals the price of a whole chicken. This indicates a deterioration in the currency’s value and its effects on the food basket.
