Egypt's Egg Prices Remain Stable on Saturday, November 14, 2026

Egypt's egg prices have maintained stability on Saturday, November 14, 2026, with prices ranging from 110 to 115 Egyptian Pounds (EGP) per carton at the farm. According to Abdelaziz El-Sayed, head of the poultry wealth department at the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, this stability is a positive indicator for the poultry sector. The sector has witnessed significant growth in recent years, with investments exceeding 200 billion EGP.

The Egyptian government is working to provide support to small and large producers, while exploring new export markets in Arab and African countries, as well as international markets. This move comes after Egypt was recognized as one of the countries applying the isolated poultry farm system, in line with the regulations of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH). The Ministry of Agriculture aims to accelerate the process of opening new markets to absorb the surplus local production.

The poultry sector in Egypt has achieved an unprecedented investment and production boom in recent years. According to Dr. Tarek El-Sleman, head of the animal and poultry wealth development sector, the sector provides direct and indirect job opportunities for around 3.5 million citizens. The average annual consumption of eggs per person in Egypt is approximately 140 eggs from local farms, according to statements by Agriculture Minister Alaa Farouk.

The current prices of eggs in Egypt are as follows: 125 EGP for consumers, and 130 EGP per carton. The price of local eggs is 135 EGP per carton, while the price of red eggs is 130 EGP per carton. The egg market, or "borصة البيض," is currently fluctuating around 125-130 EGP.

The Egyptian government has made significant strides in increasing the production of veterinary vaccines, which has risen to 2.3 billion doses annually, compared to 120 million doses previously. This development has contributed to the growth of the poultry sector. Furthermore, egg production has reached 16 billion eggs, up from 14 billion eggs the previous year.

The Ministry of Agriculture is working to provide easy financing for breeders in collaboration with the National Bank of Egypt and the Egyptian Agricultural Bank. This financing aims to support the purchase of production necessities, such as feed, chicks, medicine, and veterinary vaccines. Additionally, the ministry is financing the development of breeding rooms to increase production efficiency and economic returns.

The poultry sector in Egypt comprises over 27,000 diverse farms, including those producing table eggs, broiler chickens, parent stock, and companies specializing in producing parent and grandparent stock. The sector's growth is expected to continue, driven by government support and investment in the industry.
