- The price increase reflects higher costs for feed, labor, energy, and packaging.
- An automatic pricing mechanism adjusts egg prices based on a transparent formula.

The Israeli Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security announced that maximum controlled egg prices will be updated starting November 1, 2026. The periodic price calculation indicates a moderate increase of approximately 2.1% for consumers. This adjustment follows a previous price update in November 2025 and reflects changes in production and marketing costs throughout the value chain, including feed for laying hens, labor, energy, and packaging.
The automatic price update mechanism, implemented in 2023, operates on a transparent, fixed formula and does not require the approval of the Finance and Agriculture ministers. Prices are reviewed quarterly and can be adjusted up or down. An update occurs if the cumulative change since the last adjustment exceeds 3%, at least six months have passed since the last update, or if a year has passed and the cumulative change exceeds 1%.
Starting November 1, 2026, the maximum consumer prices, including VAT, will be: M size eggs at NIS 13.40 (an increase of 27 agorot), L size eggs at NIS 14.54 (an increase of 30 agorot), and XL size eggs at NIS 15.81 (an increase of 33 agorot).
Professionals from the Poultry Council have recently emphasized the importance of purchasing eggs from supervised sources only, warning of potential health risks from uncontrolled sources. The public is urged to buy eggs exclusively from licensed stores under authorized supervision to ensure safe and quality produce.
