It happened to us two years ago with oil. Last year with chocolate. And now it's happening with eggs. With each trip to the supermarket, a recurring feeling: the most basic products in our shopping are getting more and more expensive. The price of eggs has risen by more than 20% in one yearAnd in some supermarkets, a dozen eggs already costs over €5.40 – up to €6.50 for organic ones. When a product as basic as eggs becomes a topic of debate in Congress, we know something is wrong.

The price of the cheapest supermarket eggs, category M, rose 25.2% in just one month, from between €2.07 and €2.10 per dozen in February to €2.60 in March, according to the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU). As for category L eggs, the price has risen by an average of 15.4% compared to April 2024. This increase has already alerted consumers and sectors such as the hospitality and food industry, where eggs are considered a staple food.
