Egg prices in Myanmar have reached record highs due to significant shortages impacting sales across the country. The crisis stems from rising production costs for poultry farmers, including feed and medicine, coupled with the military regime’s enforcement of artificially low retail price controls. This price discrepancy has made egg farming unprofitable for many, leading to a reduction in production. Consequently, the supply of eggs has dwindled, driving up costs for consumers. Farmers are struggling to sustain their businesses under the current conditions, potentially exacerbating the shortage. The situation highlights the broader economic challenges facing Myanmar following the political upheaval.
