The market prices are going up and likely to continue, basically with the Continental market firming up as they export eggs out with the EU there is not the cheap Continental eggs coming in to the UK and predictions say availability will continue to drop and prices increase, this will continue to push up UK prices.

The latest EU figures are showing a predicted increase in production and consumption of 2.3% in the UK but total EU production of shell eggs in the next 10 years to increase by 5.11 million tonnes but only an increase in consumption of 4.72 million tonnes, from this can we assume that the sudden increase in export from the EU including the UK will continue and might this be linked to our higher EU welfare standards, as people in other countries outside the EU start to ask how their food is produced.
