According to Khabaronline news agency, the price of each egg comb in the market has crossed the border of 600 thousand tomans, while the producers say that they sell their product for about 460 thousand tomans, and a significant part of the price increase happens in the way of distribution to the consumer.
Jamaran wrote: The price of eggs has increased from around 400 thousand tomans to more than 600 thousand tomans per comb in the last 2 months, which indicates an increase of at least 50% in the price of this popular product.
Seyed Farzad Talakesh, the secretary of the Poultry Federation, has announced that eggs are sold in the market in bulk between 22,000 and 27,000 tomans.
On the other hand, the producers say that they sell each 2 kg egg comb for about 460 thousand tomans, but the same product reaches the consumer in the retail market with a difference of nearly 140 thousand tomans.
This difference is equivalent to about 30% of the manufacturer’s selling price. Of course, all of this amount is not necessarily the net profit of intermediaries, and a part of it can be related to transportation, distribution and retail costs.
Poultry industry activists also report about a 20% increase in the cost of production inputs, medicine, vaccines and vitamins in the last 2 months and believe that despite the increase in the price of eggs, producers are still facing cost pressure.
Poultry market experts warn that the current conditions are detrimental to producers and consumers. According to them, the weakness of monitoring the distribution chain and the lack of transparency in determining the profit margin can provide the basis for an irrational increase in prices.
Currently, several agencies, including the Ministry of Jihad and Agriculture, the Ministry of Silence, the Support and Punishment Organization are responsible for monitoring different parts of the market, but the main question still remains that how is the difference of 140,000 tomans in the price of each egg comb from the chicken farm to the market and what share of it goes to the middlemen?
