The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security announced on Thursday that regulated egg prices in Israel will increase by approximately 2.1% starting November 1, 2026. This price hike translates to an additional 27 to 33 agorot per 12-egg carton, depending on the size of the eggs. The last price adjustment for eggs occurred in November 2025.
According to the ministry, the increase is attributed to changes in production and marketing costs throughout the supply chain, from farmers to retail chains. Factors influencing the price include the cost of feed for laying hens, labor, energy, and packaging.
Following the adjustment, the maximum consumer prices, including VAT, for a 12-egg carton will be: Medium (M) size eggs will rise from NIS 13.13 to NIS 13.40, an increase of 27 agorot. Large (L) size eggs will go from NIS 14.24 to NIS 14.54, an increase of 30 agorot. Extra-large (XL) size eggs will increase from NIS 15.48 to NIS 15.81, an increase of 33 agorot.
This price update is part of an automatic mechanism implemented in 2023. This mechanism, based on a fixed formula, does not require the signatures of the Finance and Agriculture ministers. Under this system, egg prices are reviewed quarterly and can fluctuate based on cost changes. Prices are adjusted if at least six months have passed since the previous update and the cumulative change exceeds 3%, or if a year has passed and the cumulative change exceeds 1%. The current update reflects cost changes since the last price revision.
