At the press conference held yesterday (26) in Colombo, the parties related to egg production said that by controlling the price of eggs, it will not be possible to release eggs for the upcoming Christmas season.
Uditha Wanigasinghe, who represented the Association of Animal Medicine Manufacturers and Importers, who spoke at the press conference, said that in order for the eggs to be released to the market properly for the coming Christmas and the next year season, the chickens should be bred properly.
For that, egg farms should be protected and for that the price should be secure, he said.
The producers asked the government to give a reasonable price for the sale as it already costs Rs.49 per egg.
