Lacklustre trade as ex-farm egg prices increase

13 Sept 14:50 Key points summarised by AI

Ex-farm egg prices in Bangkok increased by 20 satang to 3.40 baht per egg, marking the second hike in July due to rising fuel and chicken feed costs.
Despite the price increase, trade remains lacklustre, with dealers preparing to adjust their prices soon, citing higher production expenses.
Consumers are not stocking up, preferring to buy eggs only when their current supplies run out, suggesting a cautious market response to the price changes.
Thailand's per capita egg consumption is expected to drop to 225 eggs this year, prompting the Livestock Development Department to aim for 300 eggs per person annually next year.
