The Russian government is taking urgent measures to stabilise the situation in the local egg market where prices have soared more than 40% this year. Egg farmers claim that the industry is in “a perfect storm”.

Russia’s federal veterinary watchdog Rosselhoznadzor recently greenlighted egg imports from Turkey. This country, alongside Azerbaijan, is expected to help Russia to fill the gap in the egg market, the agricultural ministry commented.
The price hike has happened due to a perfect storm in the Russian egg industry, Leonid Kkolod, an independent agricultural analyst, told the local press. Over the past 2 years, Russian egg farms have been silently suffering having to maintain operations with ‘negative profitability’, Vladimir Mkhitaryan, director of the Krasnodar-based poultry farm Novorosiisk, disclosed. The farm ended 2022 with a marginality level of -3.6%. During the first 9 months of 2023, it reached -17%. Some farms curtailed operation while others scaled down production, Mkhitaryan said.
Among the reasons that pushed the profitability into the red zone, tough import dependence is the first to blame. Mkhitaryan said that the most painful is the need to purchase vaccines and feed additives abroad now when imports from Western countries are largely restricted.
“Equipment at poultry farms is also predominately of the European origin. Even if you manage to source components, you will do it at exorbitant prices,” Mkhitaryan admitted.

Ok. It is beyond doubt that you are an egg-obsessed moron.
Is this all they got? Vlad has a shortage of eggs….the EU’s economy has shut down, fuel prices increased x 4, commodities and food through the roof, illegals flooding all western countries, manufacturing on life support, unemployment up, …. And Vlad is “ suffering “ from egg shortages?….go ahead Joe, confiscate ( steal) Russia’s $300 billion, and finish the job of western suicide….I dare you.
Why the focus on Russia? We had our own egg shortage — before small producers jumped in to end it. Russian shortages are due to sanctions; ours are due to socialism.
Don’t you have other real or imaginary issues to deal with. What’s your hang up on Ruskie eggs? Other than a bunch of Russian hens, no one cares.
Hey, de minimis, it;s a good thing that our American egg prices don’t fluctuate.

How many threads have you posted on this? At least ten, isn’t it?
Less propaganda would be appreciated. By many of us.
Did Russia have a baby formula shortage though?? The greatest country in the world did. And drug shortage for cancer patients....we did...
When US egg prices rose due to exogenous shocks, there were a lot of threads on how it was Biden’s fault. When Russian egg prices rise, the Russian bots now seem less interested.
23rd consecutive article about the price of eggs in Russia Placemarker!
I guess it’s a Zeeper obsession to distract from the results as measured in territory.
Egg on MarcusEggimus!
I remember when the West had manufactured shortages of Sugar (C&H), Coffee, Home Canning Lids (Ball), Milk, Bacon in addition to all the goods and medicines cited in previous posts.
Give it up, Dirtbag.
It is all one big yolk. The deviled is in the detail.
Well that’s definitely fake.
That picture is a fake you moron. If you’re gonna do propaganda, try better.
Reminds me a bit of a great joke by Yakov Smirnoff...In America you go looking for party...in Russia,Party go looking for *you*!
Again, photoshopped garbage propaganda. The damn thing looks like a painting.
This war is costing Russia a fortune. 41% of Russia’s budget!
At this rate, Russia is doomed to fail, sooner or later. Russian citizens will be fed up being overtaxed - for no return.
“To estimate the total federal budget expenditures on the war, it is necessary to add to this amount the classified expenditures of other agencies. The main motive for classifying expenditures is their connection with defense and security. Taking into account such expenditures, the total amount of spending on the war will be about 13.4 trillion rubles, or 41 percent of budget expenditures. Since the estimate of total budgetary spending has increased slightly, military spending in 2023, if its share remains unchanged, may rise to 13.6–13.7 trillion rubles, or $150–$160 billion. This is three times more than Russia spent on defense in 2019–2021 ($44–$49 billion). For this year, military spending will increase by about 60 percent.”

Can you imagine Biden making such a statement? I can't. He would blame the people, claiming that they don't need eggs, and that the economy is fine.
