According to the agricultural data of Iger, the average wholesale price of feed corn in major regions of China was 20 10/960 yuan/ton in May, while the average wholesale price of feed corn in August was 2034 yuan/ton, which was higher than that in 74 yuan. The increase in feed prices increases the cost of laying hens, which is the main reason for the increase in egg prices.
2. The hot weather caused the hens to go on strike.
Recently, the continuous high temperature weather in most parts of the country has led to an increase in the mortality rate of laying hens in various chicken farms, and the egg laying rate has decreased by nearly 1-20% compared with usual, which has led to a shortage of eggs in the market and an increase in prices. According to insiders, this is actually a normal trend every summer. At this time of the year, the number of eggs purchased in the market is particularly small, and the price of eggs will naturally rise. This is the normal law of egg sales.
As the holiday approaches, the price of eggs rises.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and many food enterprises with eggs as raw materials have also entered the peak period of stocking, and the demand for eggs has increased greatly, which is another reason that affects the recent increase in egg prices.
4. The arrival of chicken changing season has affected the egg production.
According to some farmers, at this time of the year, some old chickens are eliminated, resulting in a decline in the overall stock of laying hens; Chickens are in the feeding period and lay fewer eggs, which also affects the total supply of eggs in a short time, and the price of eggs goes up immediately.
