The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security in Israel has announced an average price increase of 2.1% for controlled chicken eggs, effective November 1, 2026. This adjustment will raise the consumer surcharge by 27 to 33 agorot per 12-egg carton, depending on the size.
Specifically, M-sized cartons will increase by 27 agorot to 13.40 shekels, L-sized cartons by 30 agorot to 14.54 shekels, and XL-sized cartons by 33 agorot to 15.81 shekels. These prices include value-added tax.
Officials attribute the price hike to rising costs across the supply chain, including higher prices for chicken feed, increased labor expenses, and greater costs for electricity and packaging materials. This marks the first price revision since November 2025, with experts noting it as a relatively moderate adjustment.
The price changes are implemented through an automatic regulatory mechanism established in 2023. This system uses a fixed mathematical formula, removing political influence, and is triggered by a year passing since the last adjustment and a cumulative expense increase exceeding 1%. Both conditions were met, leading to the automatic price update.
