Egg Prices Rising in Israel: 27–33 Agorot More per Carton

The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security announced that maximum retail prices for supervised table eggs will be updated starting November 1, 2026. The periodic price calculation indicates an increase of approximately 2.1% in consumer prices, a moderate rise, following the last update in November 2025.

The adjustment reflects changes in production and marketing costs throughout the supply chain, from the grower through the distributor and retailer to the consumer. Among the costs that have risen: feed for laying hens, wages, energy and packaging.

The automatic price-update mechanism, which took effect in 2023, is based on a fixed and transparent formula and does not require the signatures of the Finance and Agriculture ministers. Under the mechanism, the rate of price change is examined quarterly, and prices may be adjusted upward or downward.

An update occurs when the cumulative change since the previous update exceeds 3% and at least six months have passed since the last adjustment, or when a year has passed and the cumulative change exceeds 1%.

The maximum retail prices per carton of 12 eggs, including VAT, starting November 1, 2026:

Size M: ₪13.40 (an increase of 27 agorot, from ₪13.13)

Size L: ₪14.54 (an increase of 30 agorot, from ₪14.24)

Size XL: ₪15.81 (an increase of 33 agorot, from ₪15.48)

The Poultry Council has recently emphasized the importance of purchasing eggs only from supervised sources. Industry officials at the Council have warned against buying eggs from unsupervised sources, which may pose a health risk to families. The Council calls on the public to purchase eggs only at licensed stores, under authorized supervision, in order to ensure safe and quality produce.
