Ibrahim Afyon, President of the Central Union of Egg Manufacturers (YUM-BİR), “When the US demand for eggs is too much, there was more eggs from us to eliminate the emergencies there, regardless of the price, but now everything is in balance. We have 100 percent proficiency right now.” he said.
Afyon said it is difficult to follow the egg sold at different prices in the market with various names.
Egg prices while evaluating 63-72 grams weighing Large (large size) White egg based on the expression of Afyon, “3-4 months ago, 4.5 pounds sold in the markets of this egg is now sold around 6.5 pounds. The price of this is 90 pounds in the market, but we see that the eggs are sold in the market. We think that 70 do not represent the egg consumed. ” he said.
Afyon suggested that consumers consciously shop by giving the right price from the markets to the right product, and that egg prices are certainly not determined as costs throughout history, and that the egg producer in the free market economy is also a lot of damage to the egg producer.
Afyon continued as follows:
“Prior to Ramadan, various countries in the world had a demand for egg flu. We had some production loss due to the regional bird flu in 2024. Exports, Ramadan mobility was entered with a domino effect. The price of Ramadan has passed. Ramadan mobility has passed. Due to the consumption a little bit of our exports in favor of the consumer, we think that the new production.
Türkiye’s most reliable country in the supply of eggs
Afyon stated that they prefer Türkiye as the most reliable country in the supply of eggs of bird flu and that Türkiye took place in the top 10 in egg exports and in the top 10 in production.
Türkiye’s eggs in the domestic market of 136 percent of the periods in the domestic market, explaining that Afyon, said:
“We have claimed that we would easily provide the security of food supply of our people and that we could give enough eggs to the exports. We really provided this. But when there was a demand for export, it caused the price increases with an unnecessary perception. Therefore, our state suppressed it with the decision of the United States. We have 100 percent in balance. “
Referring to the 10 percent additional customs tax implementation of the US to protect its own producer, Afyon said, “We think that the US decision will not change our current trade structure.” he said.
