Egg Prices Fall as Demand Drops in Summer Heat
Posted on 2025-07-02 19:23:13


Taiwan's egg prices are set to fall again as high temperatures and seasonal
changes dampen demand.

As of today, the farm gate price has dropped $3 NT per catty—to $22.5 NT.

That will put wholesale prices at 32 NT per catty starting tomorrow.

The chair of the Taipei Egg Merchants Association says hot weather is curbing
consumer appetite, while school summer breaks have halted institutional meal
services.

He's urging farmers to scale back production.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Taiwan currently has over 36
million laying hens producing 127-thousand cartons of eggs per day—about 7
thousand more than daily demand.
