Trade Minister and Producers enter common ground on prices of eggs

Date:

Trade Minister Nalin Fernando has agreed to declare the maximum retail price of an egg be Rs. 50, revealed the All Ceylon Egg Producers’ Association, speaking to reporters after attending a discussion with the subject minister yesterday (24).

The government last week issued a gazette declaring the maximum retail price of a white egg as Rs. 43 and a red egg Rs. 45, leading to objections by the producers who slapped back saying that they cannot sell eggs for such prices. In the midst of the disagreements, the price of an egg in the local market had exceeded Rs. 60.
