Sri Lanka to import eggs to meet market demand

02 Jan, 2023

The Sri Lankan Government has decided to import eggs to meet the demand in the market.

The decision was taken during a Cabinet meeting held today.

A proposal was put forward to import eggs and the proposal was approved.

Bakery owners had said last week that there was a serious shortage of eggs in the market.

The shortage was as a result of poultry associations refusing to sell eggs at Rs. 55 in the market.

An egg was being sold at Rs. 60-70 in some places.

As a result, the Government had decided to import eggs and sell an egg at Rs. 55 or less. (Colombo Gazette)
