Through the cost of using alternative sources of electricity supply number of chickens eggs is growing .
In December, prices for chicken eggs in Ukraine will grow by 15-20%, while significant price fluctuations will not occur until the end of November. This was reported by the executive director of the association “ Union of Poultry Breeders of Ukraine » Sergey Karpenko.
“ With the start of shutdowns and a drop in demand, a 20% drop in sales prices for both poultry meat and eggs is recorded. Most likely, in November, sales prices will be under the influence of this factor and will not change significantly » — said Karpenko in a comment to UNIAN.
The expert noted that if egg prices decreased in November, they will rise again in December and return to the October level.
“ Incubation, and then the rearing of young laying hens, requires strict adherence to the technological indicators of keeping poultry for four months, which cannot be achieved without ensuring a stable and uninterrupted supply of electricity » – says Karpenko. According to him, electricity accounts for 7 to 12% of the cost structure of poultry products, and up to 30% of some types of products.
“ The production of poultry products consists of different stages, and therefore at each of them we will have an increase in the cost of components. Accordingly, the cost price of the industry’s final products will grow in “geometric progression » – specified the speaker.
Another important factor affecting prices is the increase in the price of compound feed, which occupies the largest share in the cost price of poultry products. Electricity is also used in its production.
“ We will have the same chain reaction of increasing the cost of other components that form the cost of production of poultry meat and eggs » – summarizes the specialist.
