Zaozhuang: Egg prices may rise again at about 8 yuan per kilogram

"Some time ago, the price of eggs was close to five yuan a kilo, but now the price has dropped slightly." On August 3, Ms. Yu, who bought eggs at the leading market in central Zaozhuang, told reporters. Recently, reporters visited many farmers'markets to learn that the price of eggs has been rising since June, but now, the price of eggs has decreased. At present, the price of eggs is about 4.4 yuan/kg. Egg vendors said that due to changes in costs and supply and demand, the price of eggs fluctuates. In the coming months, market demand will increase and the price of eggs may rise again. On August 3, a reporter saw in a supermarket on Huashan Road in downtown China that the price of eggs had dropped to less than 4 yuan per kilogram. Mr. Qin, who bought eggs, told reporters that recently, the price of eggs has changed from day to day and fluctuated uncertainly. "A few days ago, the retail price of eggs was still 5 yuan per kilogram. Today, the price of eggs has been reduced, less than 4 yuan per kilogram." Mr. Qin said that because the price of eggs fluctuated uncertainties, coupled with the hot weather eggs are not suitable for storage, many vendors are afraid to buy more. It is known that although the price of eggs has been unstable recently, the sales of eggs have not greatly affected. "Generally speaking, rising prices will certainly affect sales, but agricultural and sideline products are relatively special, regardless of the price level, the daily sales are similar, after all, people will not because of rising prices do not eat." The salesman of a supermarket on Guangming Road in downtown said.

Egg retailers said that, according to past years'experience, when the laying hens enter the summer, stress reaction will occur in the high temperature environment, loss of appetite and decline of laying rate, which will tighten the supply of laying hens and increase the price of eggs. In addition, with the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, pastry manufacturers will stock up in advance, store eggs in large quantities as raw materials, and enter primary and secondary schools, which will boost the price of eggs.
