The Ministry of Agriculture reports that there is no shortage of eggs in the country, and in the near future the former price level will be restored in the market.

According to the data of the Union of Birds of Armenia, after the first decade of December the volumes of local eggs will grow substantially, the daily production will make 2,700 boxes, while the average daily consumption is only 2200 boxes, which will meet the full pre-holiday demand of the population.

According to experts' analysis, local production in November has dropped due to the impossibility of importing incubator eggs due to quarantine declared in 2017.

The situation has led to the rise in prices for eggs in the market. According to the results of the monitoring conducted by the RA State Commission for the Protection of Economic Competition, the average price of egg sold at dominant commercial networks varies from 65 to 70 drams. An increase of 2-3 drams was observed in comparison with the previous months.

For the purpose of filling the gap in the market, industrial egg producers are currently importing eggs from Russia.

Due to the taken measures and increase of domestic egg production , prices will stabilize, reducing to the previous level.

The RA Ministry of Agriculture, the RA State Commission for the Protection of Economic Competition and the Union of Poultry of Armenia conduct monitoring in the market.
