A deduction of 50 cents per kilogram will be applied in table egg exports. It has been decided to apply a deduction of 50 cents per kilogram in table egg exports under the Support Price Stability Fund (DFİF). The President’s decision was published in today’s Official Gazette. The fund application will come into effect as of February 26. The Ministry of Trade made a statement regarding the fund deduction to be applied to table egg exports. The statement highlighted that the ministry’s priority is to maintain the balance between domestic production and consumption, ensuring that domestic consumption is met at reasonable prices for our citizens. Emphasizing that bird flu has increased egg prices, the ministry stated, “Eggs, as a protein source more reasonably priced than meat and dairy products, are a fundamental food source in our country as in the rest of the world.” It was noted that the decrease in production due to the pandemic and the increase in demand for Turkish-origin eggs have upwardly affected domestic prices. Turkey had started exporting 15 thousand eggs to the USA after a two-year hiatus. Industry representatives had previously stated that this export, which will continue until July, would not affect prices in the domestic market.
