Wholesale egg markets are dynamic. Rates and availability can change from week to week, and buyers who understand why are better able to plan purchases and budgets. This article explains the general factors involved; it does not forecast specific prices.
Demand-side factors
- Weather and season. Consumption patterns often shift between hotter and cooler months.
- Festivals and religious observances. Periods when many households avoid eggs can reduce demand, while celebrations and wedding seasons can increase demand from caterers and bakeries.
- Institutional calendars. School and college terms, hostel occupancy and public programmes influence bulk demand.
Supply-side factors
- Flock cycles. Layer flocks move through production cycles; laying rates and egg sizes change with the age of the birds.
- Weather stress. Extreme heat can affect bird comfort, feed intake and production.
- Feed costs. Feed is a major cost in egg production, so changes in the cost of ingredients influence producer economics.
- Transport and logistics. Fuel costs and transport availability affect delivered prices.
What this means for buyers
