Egg prices in Israel are set to increase by 2.1% starting November 1st, adding approximately 27 to 33 agorot to the cost of a dozen eggs, depending on their size. This price hike follows the government's decision to postpone a reform intended to open the poultry industry to competition. The reform, originally approved in 2022, aimed to introduce more market competition. However, its delay, which could extend for a decade, will allow the continuation of the current quota system until 2042, effectively blocking new competitors from entering the market.
