The Bureau of National Statistics evaluates the cost of eggs of the first category in regional centers and cities of national importance, in markets, shops and retail chains. The survey includes commercially available eggs, and the cost is tracked throughout the year.
To prevent an unjustified increase in egg prices in 2024, a Memorandum was signed with the Association of Egg Producers and the Union of Poultry Farmers, which sets the maximum selling price of eggs from producers at 51.5 tenge per piece from the factory warehouse. This is the maximum price for eggs of the first category, both in trays and in loose form. It is important to note that C1 eggs packed in a box are sold more expensive due to the cost of packaging and other costs of poultry farms. The terms of the Memorandum do not apply to eggs packed in a box.
According to operational monitoring data, eggs in the markets and shops of the country are sold at a price from 435 tenge per dozen (in Ulytau region, tray 30 pcs.) to 540-600 tenge (East Kazakhstan region, 2225 tenge per tray 30 pcs.), taking into account the trade margin. For example, in the Magnum store in Astana, eggs of category C1 from the manufacturer "Chicken Ryaba" are sold at a price of 1,590 tenge for a tray of 30 pcs. (at 530 tenge per dozen), and eggs under the brand "Meadow Field" – at a price of 1,619 tenge for a tray of 30 pcs. (540 tenge per dozen). In the Small network, eggs are sold at a price of 510 tenge per dozen.
The price of products depends on many factors, such as deliveries from small wholesalers to convenience stores and large wholesale deliveries from poultry farms to markets. Large retail chains sign long-term contracts with manufacturers.
The Trade Committee of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan monitors compliance with trade legislation. Since the beginning of 2024, 4,398 violations have been identified, including 197 cases of unjustified price increases for eggs. In response, 3,636 traders were issued warnings, and 762 were fined.
