The prices of things of daily use have increased. The expenses of the middle class people have increased to run the family. Meanwhile, Haringhata meat, which comes under the state livestock department, again raised the price of eggs. Now the prices of eggs are already high in the market. Various food items are available in Haringhata Meat. This time he also increased the prices of eggs, due to which people were under a lot of pressure. The demand for eggs increases in the winter season. So if the price increases, the pressure increases.
By how much the price of eggs has increased till October 2022, the price of poultry eggs here was Rs 9 a pair. Then from November 1, it was increased to 10 taka. Then the price in the market is high. Now it is 11 taka 20 paise. Means Rs 5.6 for a piece of egg. Actually, the West Bengal Livestock Development Corporation has said that this decision has been forced due to the continuous increase in the price of fodder. Poultry eggs now cost 14 taka per pair in the open market.
What else do you know? The eggs, sold under the Haringhata brand from 650 outlets in the state, come from West Bengal Livestock Development Corporation farms. Now about three and a half lakh eggs are produced there. Despite the demand, this institution of the state government did not go on the path of increasing the price for a long time. But now the cost of production is increasing as the masters here say. In his words, the price of corn and maize, the main feed for chickens, has gone up by at least 80 percent in the last three years. In such a situation, there is no way without increasing the price. But efforts are being made to keep the prices lower than the open market. However, once the price rises, it does not mean that the price will remain stable from day to day. The fodder prices will be reviewed from time to time. If it shows that the price has come down then the price of eggs will be reduced
It may be noted that in September last year Haringhata meat went on the path of increasing the price of chicken meat. Now the price of chicken meat is very high in the market. On which Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee herself had questioned. But in Haringhata Meat the price is less than the market. The price of meat was increased from Rs 140 to Rs 170 per kg. This decision was taken due to the rising cost of production. This time the West Bengal Livestock Development Corporation was forced to increase the price of eggs.
