EVEN eggs, a main staple in Filipino meals, are affected by the prevailing El Niño phenomenon.In a radio interview, Egg Board president Francis Uyehura said the extreme heat is taking a toll on the production, as well as sizes of egg, especially as chickens eat less than usual due to the hot weather.Aside from the El Niño or dry spell, the country is experiencing intense heat due to the summer season.“Ang malaking epekto po nito… ay ‘yung paghina ng pagkain ng ating mga alagang manok.
Uyehura said the production of smaller eggs also resulted in the price increase of bigger sized eggs.He said the prices of extra small to medium sized eggs continue to go down due to oversupply.“Nagsimula bumaba noong late January. Pagkatapos ng holiday season, until now continuously bumababa ang presyo. We are hoping na mag stabilize and presyo by April to May,” said Uyehura.Uyehura reiterated, though, that the quality of eggs, especially its nutritional value, remains unchanged.
