Modern express (journalist wang wei) has recently seen an increase in egg prices based on nanjing's price change monitoring. Starting on new year's day, the price of eggs began to rise because of better demand and reduced supply pressure. The latter period was driven by an increase in spring season demand and the price of eggs is expected to rise overall before spring。
On 20 january, the modern express reporter learned at a restaurant at the corner of new street that the price of fresh eggs was currently mostly $25 per plate of $30, divided by $12 per pound, with a net bag full of 30 different names and another one cut down. In an alley kitchen, the powdered eggs are about $12. 5 a pound, the bulk is about $17. 5 a pound, and the drop is about $2. 00. In a large supermarket on dan feng street, the price of fresh eggs was $18. 7 per box, 1. 59 kg per box, 30 of them; the size was $22. 9 and 30 were about 1. 86 kg。
The average price of eggs was 4. 19 per cent between 29 december 2025 and 4 january 2026, according to the average price of the main sub-food week of the nanjing rural trade market, issued by the nanjing city development and reform commission.

From 12 to 16 january, the average price of eggs was 4. 28 pounds, an increase of 1. 7 per cent in roundabouts。
Analysis of the information provided by drettex shows that the high price of eggs is driven by a combination of demand and supply pressures, and that the price of eggs in the main production area opened up in early january, while the increase in demand will further boost the egg market during the spring season. Wholesale prices of eggs at pre-spring sites or in general are expected to increase, with average daily prices higher or around $3. 30 per pound, and regional prices for part of the domestic market increasing to about $3. 50 per pound。
