Egg prices have been increasing on EU markets since August, on average by 30 per cent compared to July prices. Each week, consumer egg prices grow by another 5 per cent.
In Poland, industrial-quality eggs have recorded the sharpest increase, growing to PLN 6,289/tonne, which means they nearly doubled in price compared to last year.
