Colombo, April 16 (Daily Mirror) - Despite an abundance of eggs and chicken in the country, prices have surged due to the inadequate supply to meet the demand, All Island Poultry Association (AIPA) President Ajith Gunasekara said.
Sufficient eggs were available in the market by April 5. By that time the price of an egg was Rs.35 in the local market.
But with the higher demand by April 10 in view of the Muslim festival (Eid al-Fitr) and Sinhala and Tamil New Year, the producers were unable to provide the sufficient requirements.
He said the price of an egg was between Rs.40 and Rs.45, but now an egg is being sold at a price between Rs.50 to Rs.60.

Chicken is 1400, Eggs 55 to 65 and big onions Rs. 700. But the minister says no shortage, true but no price control. Why do we need a minister for =.

Magical theory! No shortages of Eggs, but the price of an EGG has gone up to Rs.60/-, marvellous economy and this is what IMF boast that Sri Lanka's economy is improved rapidly.
