Japan egg prices rose cabbage does not show weakness

According to data provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan, prices of eggs have risen to varying degrees in the long-term continued low prices and relished "excellent prices". Since the outbreak of bird flu in May 2005, the price of eggs has remained depressed. On the 9th of this month, the average wholesale price of eggs was 240 yen/kg.

Due to the drop in the price of eggs, some producers have reduced chicken rearing since last year. Together with the end of the neighborhood, the demand for eggs used in Christmas cakes and octopuses has also increased, which is the main reason for the increase in egg prices.

According to the survey, the retail price of each bag of eggs (10 bags/bag, size M) is 200 yen, up 6 yen from the same period last year.

In addition, the price of vegetables has also risen sharply due to climate change. In early December, the average retail price of cabbage was 229 yen/kg, an increase of nearly 80% from the previous year. In late November, although shipments of vegetables have increased, it is expected that it will return to previous years and it will take some time.
