Regulated egg prices in Israel will increase by approximately 2.1% starting November 1, 2026. This price adjustment will add between 27 and 33 agorot to a 12-egg carton, depending on the egg size. The increase follows a similar hike in November 2025 and adds to the ongoing expenses for basic food items for households.
Specifically, the maximum price for a 12-egg carton of size M eggs will rise from 13.13 shekels to 13.40 shekels, a 27 agorot increase. Size L cartons will go from 14.24 to 14.54 shekels (30 agorot increase), and size XL cartons will increase from 15.48 to 15.81 shekels (33 agorot increase).
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security attributes the price hike to changes in production and marketing costs throughout the supply chain, including feed for laying hens, wages, energy, and packaging. These factors influence the final maximum price consumers pay.
The price update is part of an automatic mechanism implemented in 2023. This system uses a transparent, fixed formula to reflect industry cost fluctuations, replacing individual decisions by the finance and agriculture ministers. Prices are reviewed quarterly and can be adjusted up or down based on cumulative changes and time elapsed since the last update. An update occurs if the cumulative change exceeds 3% after at least six months, or 1% after a year. The current calculation indicates a 2.1% increase.
