The price of eggs is getting higher and higher. What is the reason for the increase in egg prices?

Eggs are a kind of food that we often eat, and the demand for eggs is relatively large. However, since August, the price of eggs has generally shown an upward trend, and recently the price of eggs has also increased day by day. What is the reason? Let's sort out the reasons. Let's look at the reasons for the price increase of eggs.

Affected by high temperature

The weather turns hot, laying hens enter? Rest period? The laying rate decreased and the supply decreased. Eggs are afraid of heat and cold, so the production of eggs is low in summer and winter, and too high temperature will affect the production of laying hens. Due to the high temperature and humidity in summer, the laying rate and egg weight of laying hens will decrease to varying degrees, which indirectly leads to the decrease of egg supply, which in turn leads to the increase of egg prices in late July. After August, driven by supply, mid-autumn stocking in food factories and terminal retail demand, the price of eggs continued to rise.

Reduced supply in the egg market

Feed prices have risen, and the cost of raising chickens has increased. This year, the world was affected by the epidemic, and the grain output was once warned. With the increase of grain prices in countries all over the world, feed prices have risen simultaneously. Previously, the price of eggs continued to fall, farmers fell into losses, and began to eliminate production capacity, and the willingness to make up the column decreased, and the supply of eggs in the market decreased; Egg merchants take advantage of the opportunity of egg supply to collect eggs, put them in cold storage and hoard them until the price rises again. At the same time, the egg price in the spot market is rising, and the futures market is also favored by funds, so the egg price in the futures market is also rising.

Affected by natural disasters

Affected by natural disasters such as weather, terminal people actively hoard goods, which leads to an increase in egg terminal consumption, and the enthusiasm of terminal traders such as shopping malls to hoard goods has greatly increased. In addition, the traffic jam caused by the flood some time ago made it difficult to circulate eggs, which directly boosted the rapid rise of egg prices nationwide. Some downstream terminals hoarded goods in advance, which slightly increased the terminal demand, leading to an increase in egg prices.
