On October 11, 2026, Egypt's poultry market experienced varied price changes. According to the latest updates from the poultry exchange and the government's commodity price portal, prices of different chicken types have fluctuated. This comes as part of ongoing daily monitoring of sales and purchases within farms, markets, and commercial chains. The prices of white and local chicken are among those being closely watched.
The average price of white chicken for consumers was reported at around 87 Egyptian pounds per kilogram. However, prices ranged between 75 and 100 pounds per kilogram within retail outlets, as per the government's portal. This variation indicates differences in pricing across different regions and possibly different quality standards.
Local chicken prices saw an increase, with an average price of 130 pounds per kilogram for consumers. This was after a reported increase of 8 pounds the previous day. The prices ranged from 90 to 150 pounds per kilogram, depending on the area and the quality of the slaughter. This fluctuation could be attributed to several factors, including supply and demand dynamics.
In the poultry exchange, the announced price for white chicken per kilogram ranged between 82 and 83 pounds. This represents a decrease of one pound from the previous price. Such adjustments reflect the dynamic nature of poultry pricing, influenced by factors like feed costs and market demand.
The price of local chicken in farms ranged between 107 and 108 pounds per kilogram. This provides insight into the farmgate prices, which are a crucial part of the supply chain. Prices of chicken parts and derivatives also varied significantly across retail outlets and commercial chains.
