✦AI Summary
Retail egg prices in Bengaluru have risen significantly due to supply chain disruptions, increased transport costs, and the impact of the West Asia crisis on exports. Poultry farmers have reduced flock sizes following earlier price volatility, further tightening supply.
The egg, regarded as a rich but affordable source of protein, has turned expensive with retail price of a regular white egg hovering between ₹8 and ₹8.50 in Bengaluru market. Apart from seasonal and weather factors, the ups and downs caused by the West Asia crisis appear to have hit the egg prices.
