LNP – Sufficient stocks of eggs to meet market demand

The Sri Lanka Association of Animal Production announced today that sufficient stocks of eggs have been released to the market to prevent any shortages. Â

Addressing the media, the association’s president, Ajith Gunasekera said that the current retail price of an egg ranges between Rs. 35 and Rs. 36. Â

However, the price of eggs will be determined by the supply and demand during the upcoming festive season. Â

The association expressed its aim to maintain the price of an egg at Rs. 45 during this period. Â

Gunasekera also said that the cost of egg production has risen due to increased prices of rice bran and maize. Â

Additionally, he assured that there is a surplus in chicken production and steps have already been taken to ensure an uninterrupted supply of chicken to the market.
