- Egg prices in Ukraine depend on the cost of feed, electricity, and logistics, and a significant drop in prices is not expected in 2026.
- Expert Oleg Katerynych predicts that the price drop will be insignificant due to the large number of producers, although seasonal price reductions are still possible.

The cost of eggs in Ukraine will continue to depend on feed, electricity and logistics prices. Despite the seasonal decline in prices in the spring, a significant drop in prices is not expected in 2026.
What will happen to egg prices in 2026?
Poultry scientist Oleg Katerynych, in a commentary on Channel 24 , stated that the cost of eggs is primarily influenced by the cost of feed. The second factor that has an impact is the availability of electricity and its price, and the third factor is logistics.
An expert in the field of poultry farming predicts that feed in Ukraine will continue to increase in price, and the situation with electricity is difficult to predict.
In previous years, it was said that with the onset of warm weather, the price usually fell. That is, if in December the cost of one egg could reach even 10 hryvnias, then closer to May-June it was approximately 4 hryvnias.
However, this year I do not expect such a significant drop in price to be possible. Despite this, there will still be a decrease, albeit imperceptible,
– adds Oleg Katerynych.
The decrease is expected to be insignificant, primarily due to the large number of producers in Ukraine who keep poultry and produce table eggs. There are periods when laying hens naturally reduce or stop laying eggs – this cannot be influenced. At the same time, due to the fact that eggs cannot be stored for a long time, the decrease in production will still be felt.
