The price of eggs in Japan is approaching historic highs.

Recently, egg prices in Japan have continued to rise and are approaching historical highs. A reporter saw in a supermarket in Tokyo, Japan, a box of 10 eggs priced at nearly 20 RMB. According to local media, eggs have become a "high-end ingredient". Many Japanese restaurants can only raise the prices of egg products. According to Japanese media reports, on one hand, the cost of feed and other inputs has increased, combined with this summer's extreme heat in Japan, high temperatures have led to a decrease in egg production rates. On the other hand, the first case of highly pathogenic avian influenza this season broke out in Hokkaido this month, with about 460,000 chickens being culled, accounting for about 8% of the egg-laying chickens in Hokkaido. Industry insiders are worried that once avian influenza spreads, it will further drive up egg prices in Japan.
