The head of the Russian Federal Anti-Monopoly Service (FAS) Maxim Shaskolsky reported that he expects producer prices for chicken eggs to fall within a month or a month and a half TASS.
“I think in a month. Maybe a month or a month and a half,” Shaskolsky said in response to a related question.
On December 18, Dmitry Leonov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Association of Producers and Suppliers of Food Products (Rusprodsoyuz), expressed the opinion that chicken egg prices will fall after the new year.
Before that, Russian Minister of Agriculture Dmitry Patrushev stated He said that in the next few weeks, the Russian Federation will receive “duty-free eggs” from Turkey and Azerbaijan, which will help reduce prices.
The Government of the Russian Federation has approved the zeroing of import customs duties on chicken eggs from other countries from January 1 to June 30, 2024. Officials say the move will help lower egg prices, which have become a target of the Federal Antimonopoly Service due to suspicions of cartel collusion. Officials also promised to focus on investing in Russian production to eliminate market shortages and stabilize prices.
