Egg Prices Set to Increase by 2.1% in Israel Starting November 1

The price hike will add between 27 and 33 agorot to the cost of a 12-egg carton, depending on the size. Specifically, the maximum consumer price, including VAT, for a dozen medium (M) eggs will rise from NIS 13.13 to NIS 13.40. Large (L) eggs will increase from NIS 14.24 to NIS 14.54, and extra-large (XL) eggs will rise from NIS 15.48 to NIS 15.81. The ministry attributed the changes to increased expenses for chicken feed, labor, energy, and packaging.

This adjustment is governed by an automatic pricing mechanism established in 2023, which operates on a fixed mathematical formula and does not require approval from the finance and agriculture ministers. The system reviews costs quarterly and triggers an update if a year has passed since the last adjustment and cumulative expenses have changed by more than 1%.

Separately, flour prices in Israel are also set to rise in November 2026. Mifratz Mills, one of the country's two largest milling groups, informed customers of a 10% to 15% increase, according to Vesty, or a 14% increase, according to i24NEWS, due to disruptions in Russian wheat supplies caused by the Russia-Ukraine war.
