Egypt Poultry and Egg Prices Today: Latest Market Updates September 2026
Wholesale Farm-Gate Valuations Versus Consumer Retail Rates
Trading data from the poultry stock exchange highlights a clear divergence between farm-gate pricing and final consumer retail costs. According to market data from the General Poultry Stock Exchange, white poultry opened at 64 to 65 Egyptian pounds per kilogram at the farm level, as reported by Abdelaziz El-Sayed, head of the Poultry Wealth Division at the Cairo Chamber of Commerce. Other industry monitors, including figures from trading desks managed by Monir El-Sakka and Mohamed Adel, similarly tracked farm-gate white poultry between 64 and 65 pounds, with white parent stock holding steady at 70 pounds per kilogram.
By contrast, government price monitors tracking retail operations reported that white poultry averaged roughly 78 pounds per kilogram for consumers, though individual storefronts and neighborhood merchants posted ranges extending from 65 to 95 pounds per kilogram depending on municipal overhead and regional logistics. Meanwhile, Saso poultry registered a farm-gate price of 107 pounds per kilogram at the stock exchange, while retail buyers faced prices stretching up to 125 pounds per kilogram.
Sector Scale and Industrial Growth Metrics
Egypt's domestic poultry sector represents a cornerstone of national food security, encompassing more than 27,000 registered farms dedicated to table eggs, broiler production, and breeding operations, according to statements from Agriculture Minister Alaa Farouk.

Production volumes have expanded significantly.
State Financing and Infrastructure Upgrades
To mitigate rising operational pressures on producers, the Ministry of Agriculture has partnered with the National Bank of Egypt and the Agricultural Bank of Egypt. This financial collaboration establishes concessional credit lines for independent breeders and commercial producers. The funds are earmarked for securing critical production inputs, including feed supplies, day-old chicks, veterinary medicines, and biological vaccines.
A primary objective of this financing initiative is accelerating the structural conversion of traditional open-air breeding sheds into closed-system facilities.
Export Expansion and International Health Certification
This export push follows the official accreditation of Egypt as a nation applying secure compartmentalization standards for poultry establishments under guidelines set by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH).

Achieving international disease-free compartmentalization status requires rigorous veterinary oversight and strict biosecurity protocols.
Table Egg Markets and Local Price Variations
Beyond broiler production, table egg markets experienced distinct pricing tiers across wholesale distribution networks and retail storefronts. Data compiled by the government commodity price portal indicated that white egg cartons containing 30 eggs traded at wholesale points between 60 and 70 pounds, while corporate distributors and semi-wholesale merchants priced them between 63 and 73 pounds per carton.
Red egg cartons registered higher baseline valuations. Wholesale exchange rates for red eggs ranged from 90 to 97 pounds per carton, with semi-wholesale and commercial outlets moving inventory between 93 and 100 pounds. Local Baladi eggs maintained the highest price point in the market, trading at 119 to 120 pounds at the stock exchange level, while retail and semi-wholesale buyers purchased cartons at prices ranging from 121 to 125 pounds.
