Transcript

00:00 Egg prices are currently at near historic highs globally due to a combination of factors

00:06 such as disease outbreaks, high demand and increasing cost for farmers.

00:11 The avian flu has been a major contributor to the price increase, with outbreaks reported

00:16 in various regions since 2020.

00:19 The impact of these outbreaks has led to a decrease in poultry population and consequently

00:24 lower egg supplies, causing prices to rise.

00:28 Situations like inflation, rising feed costs and disruptions caused by events including

00:32 the war in Ukraine have further intensified the situation.
