Odisha Egg Prices Skyrocket to ₹9

PrismNews: Retail egg prices across major markets in Odisha have witnessed a sudden and sharp spike over the past few weeks, climbing up to ₹9 per piece from under ₹5 just two months ago. Poultry operators and market analysts attribute this crisis to a severe domestic supply shortage combined with rising feed costs and increased inter-state transport expenses. Local vendors warn that prices might remain volatile until local production stabilizes in the upcoming weeks. This sudden inflation has significantly impacted common household budgets and mid-day meal programs across schools in the state.
