The cost of chicken eggs in Moscow in 2024 will start from 90 rubles per dozen, and selected ones from 120-130 rubles. This forecast was given to socialbites.ca by a professor from the department of fundamental trade policy of the Russian University of Economics. GV Plekhanov Vyacheslav Cheglov. The economist added that imported egg prices will be close to the upper values.
“The increase in chicken egg prices can be called one of the indicators of last year’s problems in the Russian consumer market. And it’s good that the government is seriously concerned about the prices of this social product. But the situation itself is indicative of the impact of macroeconomics on producers, retailers and consumers. This reflects the increase in the cost of credit, inflation, the high cost of fuel for domestic consumption and technological dependence on foreign sources. The government is working to eliminate this, but it is not possible to expect results overnight,” Cheglov said.
According to him, at the beginning of 2024, the demand for eggs in Russia will traditionally decrease. The rise in prices will most likely stop now that the president has a clear directive.
“The anti-monopoly control mechanism has been launched and it is absolutely dangerous to continue to “escalate” the situation. Financial support was promised to producers. Import deliveries have started, Azerbaijan has joined, Türkiye is on the horizon. To be on the safe side, import duties are exempt for six months. This will lead to a reduction in the cost of eggs,” said Cheglov.
According to the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, egg prices in Russia have increased by 40% this year. According to Rosstat, they grew by 15.07% in November alone. The retail price of a dozen eggs currently ranges from 90 to 150 rubles, and in some cases the price of products of category C1 (first category, egg weight from 55 to 65 grams) is in the range of 164-170 rubles. FAS filed a lawsuit against egg producers in Crimea and the Kirov region.
