According to reports, the recent decline in egg prices is due to the acceleration of the expansion of large-scale chicken farms due to the stimulation of persistently high egg prices on the production side in the past three years, especially the rapid rise of a number of modern-scale chicken farms. These chicken farms have high stockpiles, few workers, and high production capacity, resulting in more stages of market supply; and the current decline in prices of raw materials such as corn and soybean meal provides support for the downward price of eggs.
Liu Hongjie, a merchant in Beijing's Xinfadi market: feed costs are also relatively low. There are more large households than before, and now it is the highest peak of egg production.
According to monitoring by the Ministry of Agriculture and villages, the wholesale price of eggs nationwide in April was 8.2 yuan per kilogram, down 3.64 percent from the previous month.
Zhu Ning, associate researcher of the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences: in the later stage, the number of new laying hens has increased throughout the country, and the stock of laying hens has increased steadily throughout the country, and it is expected that egg price shocks will run weakly in the later period.
