In this article, we will inform you about the egg rates in India. Egg rates in India do not remain constant. They change almost on daily basis.

The egg rates keep on changing daily and the main reasons behind this change are as:
- export of Indian eggs to other countries like Oman and Malaysia.
- Diseases in chicken that kill them. It leads to less supply and hence more cost of eggs.
- increase in the cost of feed and other materials required in poultry farming.
- Change of seasons. In winter demand of eggs increases and in summer the same decreases. This inturn affects the egg prices in India.
