Eggs are an indispensable food in people's daily life and have high nutritional value. However, recent reports show that the price of eggs in Japan has soared nearly eight times. For example, a box of 11 eggs has been sold to 221 yen, which is 41 yen more expensive than last month, equivalent to RMB 14. In fact, the price of Japanese eggs has been rising since last winter. On the one hand, the impact of the epidemic is that there is bird flu in Japan, so the price will not stay for a long time. According to the forecast of the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the bird flu epidemic will last until May, which also makes many housewives have to live carefully. Bird flu causes the price of eggs to skyrocket

Eggs are an essential ingredient in Japanese family tables, but the price of eggs in the market has to continue to rise due to the continuous spread of bird flu in Japan. Since the first outbreak of bird flu in Japan in October last year, although all chicken farms in Japan have stepped up their prevention and closed the windows of chicken farms for strict disinfection of vehicles entering and leaving, they have not achieved good results. The incubation period from infection to illness and death in Japan is longer, so farmers can't find it in time. Recently, another outbreak of bird flu occurred in a farm in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, which is also the area where the epidemic occurred for the eighth time in Japan. Covid-19 hasn't been eradicated yet, but the bird flu is coming again, which is a big blow to Japan. At present, nearly one third of Japan has already had an outbreak of bird flu, and 9.79 million chickens have been culled. Even so, there is still no way to stop the spread of bird flu in time and effectively. The recovery of the catering industry has increased the demand for eggs

Before that, many restaurants and restaurants in Japan closed down one after another because of the COVID-19 epidemic. With the warming of the weather, the epidemic situation was controlled, and all parts of Japan were gradually unsealed. The catering industry will also resume its operation. The demand for eggs in the catering industry is great, especially many dishes in Japan will use eggs as raw materials. However, Japan cannot meet the demand for eggs in the market when a large number of laying hens have been culled, so the price of eggs in Japan will continue to rise this time. Egg prices in European countries have risen

Not only in Japan, but also in some European countries, where a large number of laying hens have been culled by avian flu. The demand for eggs in the market is also in short supply, and the price has soared. On February 23rd, a highly pathogenic avian influenza was also found in Poland. As the largest poultry producer and the sixth largest egg producer in the European Union, Poland can say that nearly half of the eggs on the table in European countries come from Poland. The outbreak of avian influenza has dealt a great blow to Poland, which has culled 5 million poultry, and the wholesale price of eggs is also rising by 21%, so the price of eggs in EU countries is also rising.
