Eggs Price Trend Q3 2026
- Egg prices moved differently across regions in Q3 2026, with festival demand lifting Asian prices while ample supply pulled US prices lower by September.
- Feed costs rose after a summer drought in Europe, squeezing producer margins, while bird flu briefly disrupted supply in the US early in the quarter.
- Holiday stocking in China boosted demand sharply, while high prices and economic uncertainty slowed consumer buying in Europe during the late summer months.
In China, the average price of Eggs rose from ~USD 5.79/Dozen (FOB) in July to ~USD 7.12/Dozen in August. India saw a much smaller rise, with average import prices edging up about 2.2% from ~USD 0.91/Dozen (CIF) to ~USD 0.93/Dozen. In China, prices surged in August as traders and retailers stocked up ahead of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays. Inventories across the supply chain fell to very low levels, and the laying flock was slightly smaller than a year earlier, which kept prices high into September. In the US, a bird flu outbreak pushed wholesale prices sharply higher in July. However, according to USDA, the table-egg layer flock reached 312.0 million birds by the end of the previous quarter, up 4.8% from a year earlier, which helped prices fall back by September.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, egg prices are likely to ease as holiday demand fades and laying flocks recover, though higher feed costs may limit declines.

- Global egg prices in Q2’26 followed a mixed trend, primarily driven by regional differences in supply availability, resulting in varied pricing movements across major markets.
- Feed availability and poultry input costs remained stable, with limited feed inflation preventing sharp cost-push movements across both markets.
- Downstream consumption stayed largely stable, with household demand steady but institutional buying and food service procurement showing uneven patterns.
In the second quarter of 2026, the monthly average eggs price in China was which was ~RMB 0.0343/kg in April and ~RMB 0.0372/kg in the subsequent month, showing an increase of ~8.5%. This increase in prices was attributed to tight supply conditions in the domestic market, reduced flock production from certain producing areas as temperature increased, but with unchanged feed prices and household consumption patterns and temporary price pressures from short-term stocking by the traders. Meanwhile, the monthly average eggs price in India was ~INR 0.0846/kg in April and ~INR 0.0827/kg in the subsequent month, showing a decrease of ~2.2%. Prices in India fell because of sufficient production levels, limited purchases by wholesalers, with no changes in poultry feed supplies and low festive/institutional demand.
About Eggs
Eggs are laid by female animals of several distinct species, like birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, or fish. Eggs are being consumed by humans for thousands of years. They consist of a protective eggshell, albumen, that is known as the egg whites and vitellus, that is egg yolks, contained within various thin membranes.

Eggs Production Processes
- Egg Production through Laying, Collecting and Washing
The process involves the laying of eggs by well-fed hens in poultry enterprises. These eggs are then collected and washed to remove protective coating of eggs (bloom). After these steps, candling, grading, and sorting and packing of these eggs take place to further sell them in the markets for consumption.
Frequently Asked Questions
During Q1 2026, egg prices showed mixed movement across the tracked European markets as supply recovery progressed at different speeds. In Belgium, prices increased slightly by 0.07% from January to March. Spain recorded a stronger 11.92% increase, while Sweden witnessed a 2.52% decrease. In Ireland, prices rose by 1.72%. Markets facing tighter flock availability and slower recovery from avian influenza-related disruptions experienced firmer pricing, while regions with improving production and better supply conditions saw more stable or weaker trends. Feed costs, flock rebuilding activity, retail demand, and disease-related uncertainty remained key factors influencing market direction during the quarter.
From Q4 2025 to Q1 2026, egg prices moved differently across the tracked countries. In Belgium, average prices declined from USD 3,572.15/MT to USD 3,219.64/MT, showing a 9.87% decrease. Spain fell from USD 3,526.24/MT to USD 3,434.63/MT, a 2.60% decrease. Sweden rose from USD 3,258.13/MT to USD 3,353.11/MT, a 2.92% increase. Ireland increased from USD 2,869.07/MT to USD 2,928.74/MT, showing a 2.08% rise.
The egg market is expected to gradually recover during 2026 as laying hen inventories continue rebuilding following avian influenza-related disruptions. According to USDA projections, U.S. table egg production is forecast at approximately 1,940 million dozen in Q2 2026, increasing to 1,975 million dozen in Q3 and 2,000 million dozen in Q4. The improving production outlook suggests better supply availability later in the year, although disease outbreaks, feed costs, and trade developments may continue to create regional price volatility.
Avian influenza remained the main driver of egg prices because it reduced laying flock availability and kept supply risk high during Q1’26. When farms lose birds, replacement takes time, so supply recovery is slow. Feed costs were another important factor. Corn, soybean meal, energy, labor, and biosecurity expenses affected producer margins and influenced the prices offered to retailers and foodservice buyers.
Major egg-producing countries include China, the United States, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Russia, Turkey, and Thailand. China remains the largest producer because of its huge poultry base and domestic consumption. The United States is a major commercial egg producer with large integrated farms. India, Indonesia, Brazil, and Mexico are also important due to rising protein consumption and expanding poultry sectors.
Cal-Maine Foods expanded its egg business through the acquisition of Creighton Brothers and Crystal Lake. The deal added shell egg, egg products, and prepared foods operations, including about 3.2 million laying hens, 500,000 cage-free hens, 865,000 pullets, a feed mill, farmland, and egg processing facilities. The expansion strengthened the company’s production scale and value-added egg capacity.
Feed costs are one of the most important drivers of egg production economics. Maize provides energy while soybean meal supplies protein in layer diets, and together these ingredients typically account for approximately 65–70% of total feed costs. During early 2026, maize and soybean meal markets remained influenced by biofuel demand, weather-related supply risks, and global agricultural commodity volatility. Elevated feed costs increased production expenses and limited producers' ability to reduce egg prices despite improving supply conditions.
Seasonal demand supported egg buying during Q1 2026 as retailers and foodservice buyers prepared for spring consumption and early Easter-related orders. Consumers continued to treat eggs as a staple protein, keeping baseline demand steady. This demand arrived while supply was still recovering from flock losses, which helped sustain market firmness during the quarter.
Trade policies and import restrictions can significantly influence egg supply, trade flows, and regional pricing. Measures related to animal health, food safety, and disease control often determine which countries can export eggs and poultry products to specific markets. During periods of avian influenza outbreaks, import bans and trade restrictions can tighten supply and redirect global trade flows, while the removal of such restrictions can improve market access and increase product availability. For example, Hong Kong lifted import suspensions on poultry and poultry products, including eggs, from selected U.S. counties in March 2026 after disease-related restrictions were updated, helping reopen trade channels for approved suppliers.
Procurement Resource employs a structured methodology combining primary research, secondary market data, analytical models, and validation processes to assess eggs prices and trends.
