Egg Prices to Rise in Israel Starting November 1

Egg prices in Israel are set to increase by approximately 2.1% starting November 1, 2026, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security announced Thursday. This adjustment follows a year of stable prices for regulated table eggs and reflects rising production and marketing costs throughout the supply chain, including feed for laying hens, labor, energy, and packaging.

The new maximum prices will affect various egg sizes. A 12-egg carton of size M will now cost up to 13.40 shekels, an increase of 27 agorot from the current 13.13 shekels. Size L cartons will see a 30 agorot increase, reaching a maximum of 14.54 shekels, up from 14.24 shekels. The largest price jump in shekels will be for size XL cartons, which will rise from 15.48 to 15.81 shekels, a 33 agorot increase. These prices include VAT.

Israel has operated an automatic mechanism for updating regulated egg prices since 2023. This transparent formula assesses cost changes quarterly. Prices are adjusted if the cumulative change since the last update exceeds 3% and at least six months have passed, or if a year has passed since the last update and the cumulative change exceeds 1%. The upcoming November 1 adjustment was triggered because a year has passed since the previous price update.
