Rising prices for eggs: what actually affects the cost and what measures the Seymovskaya poultry farm is taking

In addition, the cost of vaccines, veterinary drugs, equipment, spare parts, containers and packaging also increased by 25%. This is due to the increasing costs of production and ensuring the safety of the poultry farm. A particularly significant factor was the increase in the cost of energy, electricity and diesel fuel by up to 20%, as well as an increase in tariffs for transport companies by 35-66%.

it is interesting to note that the Seymovskaya poultry farm faced an acute shortage of personnel and was forced to increase employee salaries by 30%. This decision was necessary to attract and retain qualified workers. All these factors combined have led to a significant increase in the cost of eggs.

However, despite the difficulties, the poultry farm took measures to reduce prices for the socially important category of eggs. From November 20, 2023, they reduced selling prices by 5-10 rubles per ten. This decision has been taken to support consumers and ensure availability of eggs in the market.

In addition to external factors, it is worth noting that the emerging outbreaks of bird flu in RUSSIA also had a negative impact on prices. The cost of implementing biosecurity measures has increased by 40-100%, which inevitably affected the final cost of eggs.

Thus, the increase in egg prices in the Nizhny Novgorod region is due to a complex of factors, including an increase in costs for feed, vaccines, veterinary drugs, equipment, containers and packaging, as well as an increase in the cost of energy resources and tariffs of transport companies. At the same time, the Seymovskaya Poultry Farm is taking steps to reduce prices and support consumers by reducing selling prices for a socially important category of eggs.
