Egg deficiency easing
Egg shortage appears to be easing after prices plunge at Bangkok retail store.
A rack of 30 eggs was found discounted from Bt89 to Bt49 at Makro’s Srinakarin store.
Thai Egg Merchant Trade Association president Suthasin Amruek said he was not surprised to see this low price, when various products have now become overabundant in the market.
He wanted the Commerce Minister to allow the export of eggs again after these exports were previously banned so production could meet domestic demand during Covid-19 panic buying.
