Egg prices fall during Shravan, but rising feed costs squeeze poultry farmers

Egg prices fell during Shravan due to lower demand, reaching ₹5.20 in Namakkal on Monday. Despite this, poultry farmers struggle as feed costs rose by 40-60 percent. Suresh Chitturi said, "Feed costs have gone up by 40-60 per cent, increasing the overall cost of production sharply." Prices will likely rise soon.
