Egg Prices to Rise in Israel by Over 2% in November

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 dozen eggs, depending on their size. The adjustment follows the previous update 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 dozen eggs will be: Medium-sized eggs will rise from NIS 13.13 to NIS 13.40 (a 27 agorot increase). Large eggs will go from NIS 14.24 to NIS 14.54 (a 30 agorot increase). Extra-large eggs will increase from NIS 15.48 to NIS 15.81 (a 33 agorot increase).

This price update is part of an automatic mechanism implemented in 2023. This mechanism, based on a fixed formula, reviews egg price changes quarterly and allows for adjustments based on cost fluctuations. Prices are updated if at least six months have passed since the last revision 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.
