Recently, many consumers have reported that egg prices have risen markedly. In the egg trading area of the Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, the wholesale price of eggs per catty reached 5.5 yuan in early June, up about 26% from the beginning of May. The year-on-year increase was close to 80%, the highest in the same period in the past five years. Market leaders said that egg prices have risen sharply. Apart from being driven by demand during the Dragon Boat Festival, supply is also being phased out. According to monitoring by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, due to the obvious rise in egg prices, laying hen farming came out of a period of loss. Most laying hen farmers across the country achieved profits in May, making a profit of about 0.5 yuan to 1.2 yuan per catty of eggs.
