The price of eggs in Nepal has risen following a drop in production caused by extreme heat, according to the Nepal Layers Poultry Association. Farmers and consumers alike are facing higher rates starting today.
The price of eggs has increased in the Nepali market. According to Vinod Pokharel, President of the Nepal Layers Poultry Association, the price hike is due to a decrease in egg production caused by excessive heat, which has led to higher demand.
Currently, three categories of eggs—medium, large, and excel—are available in the market. The prices set for farmers are Rs. 465 per crate for medium eggs, Rs. 495 per crate for large eggs, and Rs. 515 per crate for excel eggs. These rates represent a significant increase from previous prices.
Pokharel stated, “We decided on the price hike in a meeting yesterday and have implemented the new rates starting today.” With the increase in the price received by farmers, consumer prices have also risen accordingly.
