Egg products export in money terms in September made USD 796k, in total since the beginning of Y2017 – USD 5.3M.

As we earlier expected, due to export growth and seasonal factors (usual lower eggs production in households since the beginning of autumn, which negative influences domestic market supply), local Ukrainian eggs prices keep growing. After increase by 18% in August, in September growth made 31%. We expect that prices will keep on growing in October – beginning of November with further stabilization till end of the year (due to decrease of demand).
