With the general rise in prices and the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the price of eggs has become less calm. Since the beginning of summer, the price of eggs has been on the rise. At present, the price of eggs in the market has reached 6 yuan per catty, which is the highest price this year. A wholesaler stated that it is expected that the price of eggs will decline after the National Day.

The reporter learned from an egg wholesaler in Futian that the price of eggs in June rose to a high level, with fresh eggs at 4.5 yuan per catty and soil eggs at 4.75 yuan. At present, fresh eggs are 4.25 yuan and soil eggs are 4.75 yuan. The boss of Xiangmei Market told reporters that this is the highest price for eggs this year. "Now everything has gone up, but the eggs have risen too fast. At the lowest price last year, it was only 3.5 yuan per catty."

The increase in egg prices this year is higher than in previous years, wholesalers said there are multiple reasons. Among them, the cost of feed, labor and logistics are all increasing. The price of corn (2308, 1.00, 0.04%) has repeatedly hit new highs since the Spring Festival. It has now soared to 2,800 to 2,900 yuan per ton, or more than 10%.
