December 16, Colombo (LNW): In a welcome announcement for consumers ahead of the upcoming festive season, the All Ceylon Egg Producers Association has confirmed that eggs will be available at retail prices ranging from Rs. 30 to Rs. 35.
This marks a significant reduction from the price levels observed in previous years, providing relief to households during a time of increased demand.
Chairman Anton Appuhamy has urged all retail outlets to adhere to the new pricing guidelines and ensure that eggs are sold at prices not exceeding Rs. 35.
He further explained that, while eggs were priced as high as Rs. 65 to Rs. 70 during the 2023 festive season, the situation has improved this year.
With a noticeable increase in egg production, the market has stabilised, resulting in lower prices for consumers.
Appuhamy highlighted that egg farmers across the country are currently holding surplus stock, which has contributed to the reduction in prices.
He clarified that a standard 50-gram egg should cost between Rs. 30 and Rs. 32, while eggs weighing over 55 grams will be priced between Rs. 33 and Rs. 35.
