Egg Prices Surge in Maharashtra Due to Supply Shortfall
Egg prices in Maharashtra have gone up because there are not enough eggs to meet the demand.
This is happening because some chickens got sick in other states where many eggs come from.
People are buying more eggs because they are healthy and easy to cook with.
Even though egg prices are high for buyers, farmers are making more money from selling eggs.
Wholesale egg prices reached an all-time high of over Rs 7 in Maharashtra
Shortfall estimated at 1.5 crore eggs per day, while demand is around 3 crore
Outbreaks of bird diseases in major supply hubs in AP and Tamil Nadu caused the deficit
Consumers in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar paid approximately Rs 8 per egg
