The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security announced that regulated egg prices in Israel will increase by approximately 2.1% starting November 1. This adjustment means a package of 12 eggs will cost between 27 to 33 agorot more, depending on the egg size. The last price revision occurred in November 2025.
The ministry attributes the price hike to changes in production and distribution costs throughout the supply chain, including expenses for chicken feed, labor, energy, and packaging. These factors influence the final cost of eggs for consumers.
Following the increase, the new maximum retail prices, including VAT, for a 12-egg carton will be: Size M eggs will rise from 13.13 to 13.40 shekels (a 27 agorot increase), Size L eggs from 14.24 to 14.54 shekels (a 30 agorot increase), and Size XL eggs from 15.48 to 15.81 shekels (a 33 agorot increase).
This price review is part of an automatic mechanism established in 2023. This system, which operates based on a set formula and does not require ministerial signatures, allows for quarterly price adjustments, either increases or decreases, linked to shifts in operational expenses. Prices are reviewed if at least six months have passed since the last change and total cost variations exceed 3%, or if a year has passed with cost changes over 1%. The current adjustment reflects cost changes since the previous review.
