Egypt's poultry market has seen stable prices on Monday, October 5, 2026. According to the latest update from the poultry exchange, the prices of white chickens have remained steady. The current price range for white chickens is between 75 and 76 pounds per kilogram, with a selling price of 85 to 86 pounds in the markets. This stability is a welcome respite for consumers who have been experiencing fluctuations in prices over the past few months.
The prices of red Baladi chickens, also known as Saso chickens, have also remained stable. The current price range for these chickens is between 112 and 113 pounds per kilogram in the exchange, with a selling price of 122 to 123 pounds per kilogram in the markets. The stability in prices is attributed to various factors, including the balance between supply and demand, production costs, and environmental factors.
The price of chicken thighs has also been stable, with a price range of 250 to 270 pounds per kilogram, depending on the market. This range is relatively stable compared to previous weeks, when prices were fluctuating significantly. The stability in prices is a relief for consumers who rely heavily on chicken as a source of protein.
In addition to poultry prices, egg prices have also remained stable. The price of a carton of red eggs is currently 120 pounds at wholesale, with a selling price of 130 pounds to consumers. The price of a carton of white eggs is 115 pounds at wholesale, with a selling price of 125 pounds to consumers. This stability in egg prices is a welcome development for consumers who have been experiencing rising prices over the past few months.
The stability in poultry and egg prices can be attributed to various factors, including the government's efforts to support the poultry industry. The government has implemented various measures to support farmers, including providing subsidies and reducing import duties on raw materials. These measures have helped to reduce production costs and increase supply, which has contributed to the stability in prices.
According to experts, the stability in poultry and egg prices is also due to changes in consumer behavior. Consumers are becoming more aware of the importance of buying locally produced poultry and eggs, which has led to an increase in demand for locally produced products. This increased demand has led to an increase in production, which has contributed to the stability in prices.
The Egyptian government has been working to support the poultry industry, which is a significant sector in the country's economy. The industry provides employment for thousands of people and contributes significantly to the country's GDP. The government's efforts to support the industry are expected to continue, which is likely to lead to further stability in poultry and egg prices.
