Eggs have been on everyone’s mind, especially after the latest onion fiasco. Supply has been low due to a number of factors, including the spread of avian flu and the resulting reluctance of some growers to continue with their businesses because of this, plus the continually rising cost of feed and so on. “Yung iba, wala nang kapital, yung iba naman, natatakot nang mag-alaga dahil sa taas ng production cost. Kung bumaba man yung presyo ng itlog, malulugi ng malaki. monthly presscon.
He elaborated that farm gate price is based on medium eggs. Not a lot of consumers know that eggs come in different sizes. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous retailers use this to their advantage, selling small eggs as medium ones and so on, and it can be difficult to tell which is which because there is only five grams difference between the two. “I encourage you to eat a lot of eggs so you’re aware of the sizes,” he said.
He added that retailers can’t be blamed for increasing the prices of the eggs they sell, as they, like everyone else, need to take home a livable wage. In fact, one of the industry’s fears is that supply might decrease as more people scrimp on food in order to pay for other necessities. “Natiiis na kasi ngayon ang gutom, pero hindi mo matitiis yung bayad sa kuryente, sa tubig, ganun din. Pamasahe, hindi mo matiis yan, hindi ka makakarating sa trabaho.
