As the saying goes, "it's a good month, but it has to be done." on 24 february 2026, at the beginning of the eighth month of the agricultural calendar, the egg market officially opened for a spring festival. Is the first shot in the year still ringing? Is it "open red" or "open black"? I'm sure it's the most important thing for the old irons in our farm. Take it easy, let's take the first day of the market and look at the dark market。
I. Sitting down in tarzan in the marketing area, making sure the market is safe. Maru
We'll look at beijing. As the “big brother” of the marketing district, the movement of the beijing market today is quite critical. The good news is that there is no “jumping” in the major markets and that mainstream wholesale prices are set at $130/44. The price of the stone door and the return to the big markets is 130/44 pounds and the same figure of 130 on ocean road。
As soon as this price comes out, we'll have the bottom of it. While the number of vehicles is normal, the buyer and seller are still playing and are flexible, the speed at which they move is smooth and there is no backlog. It's like leaving relatives in new year's day, but it's not a rare gift, but it's a few weeks' gift, and it's not bad。
And look at shanghai. Today, shanghai's brown-shell eggs are also at the top of the word “stable”, with a double price of $80. 27. 5 pounds for the delivery of the “hard brother”. It's not a big surprise, but at the end of the season, it's a victory, at least not for our breeders。
`ii, the production area's "all flowers" gas
When we're done with the marketing area, we have to go back and look at our own "three acres." this is shandong. It's pretty hard today. The main brown-shell eggs in the counties of ze cao and mono-counties are priced at 83 to 84 pounds per 30 pounds per household, and the plains are slightly low, hovering between 81 and 83. It's a good price, and it's normal to travel, and it seems that the shandong villages are doing well this year。
It is also a stable happiness for the mainstream to refer to 84/30 pounds of household prices for the tablets of jeenenen, nien, and mandarin. On the side of henan, the price of the chorus and the horse shop's large eggs were kept at the $2. 8 per pound mark, and while the goods could only be described as “general”, the good news is that they didn't fall. The powdered eggs of hubei water are also warm, with a purchase price of $143 for 45 pounds of containers, as stable as tarzan。

Field depth analysis: don't get fascinated by the word “stable”, and the pressure on stocks remains the sword of damocles
Although today this early 8th market seems to be peaceful, we need to take a closer look at the current behind it. As the saying goes, “there must be immediate concern”. This surface is calm and actually holds pressure from stockpiles。
We look back on the days before the festival (on or about 10 february), when the trading window narrowed down, and many farming enterprises had to “stable down” or even negotiate with buyers to get their goods out as soon as possible. At that time, sales were largely closed, and the pressure on stocks was increasing. Although today the market is open, it is built on a low base of cut-off during the holidays, and once capacity is fully restored, supply levels can still be so hard to get at。
There was a lack of demand: on 10 february, there was a decrease in arrivals in the guangdong marketing area, a lack of willingness on the part of downstream traders to take delivery and a near “decoupling” of production and distribution. What does that mean? This means downstream consumption is not as hot as it looks. Just after the spring festival, the household refrigerators are expected to contain a large number of “stocks” and the central purchase of restaurants and canteens has not yet been fully restored. The demand side was weak, and the stocks on this side of the production area became “hot potato”。
Price expectancy: in the short term, market volatility may be limited after the festival, but this stock holds the “sword of damocles” above its head. If it is not digested quickly, the risk of an egg price falling by $2. 8 per pound remains and a narrow shock is expected in the near future. At this point, we'll have to take care of it. Should we sell it or leave it in the bag
Iv. Dismantling chickens: no illness, no goods
Let's talk about getting rid of chicken. The average exit price for chickens in the main production area was $4. 43 per pound on 10 february, with shandong having a maximum capacity of $4. 73 per pound and hebei having a minimum of $4. 00 per pound. The price looks good, but it is also affected by spring effects。
There are now 999 small farmers in their minds: some feel that the price of eggs is going down and they want to be eliminated; others want to change their hands and fight back. This, together with the fact that the slaughtering business has just begun, has not started at a very high rate, and the agricultural market is a “sustainable” level. This chicken market, which is currently a delicate balance of purchases and sales, is also expected to adjust steadily in the near future, neither to be too bad nor to expect a dramatic increase。
V. Conclusion
In sum, the opening of the first eight markets in 2026 gave us a decent starting point. Prices don't fall, mentalities don't fall, prices don't rise, mentalities don't fall. The farming industry earns hard money, with patience and vision. In the face of possible stock repression and price shocks, we have to shine our eyes and sell the goods when they come out. This business is new to the chess game, and i wish you farmers 2026 years with eggs in your hands, without panic, with rainbows and money
