Russian imports of 1.2 billion eggs will be exempt from duty for the first six months of 2024, the economy ministry said on Wednesday, to help rein in prices as some shops run low on supplies.
Egg prices have risen more than 40% so far this year and empty egg shelves have been seen in some Moscow supermarkets in the past week.

Natalia Chernovolova, a resident of Valuyki in the Belgorod region, said prices above around 150 roubles were too much for her.
"I have to look for other options, cheaper ones," she said. "Because we need eggs not just for New Year, for festive salads, but for our daily diet."
Some Belgorod residents have been hoarding eggs and selling them on at higher prices, the deputy regional governor Yulia Shcherdina said, seeking to reassure people that supplies are sufficient.
"There is no shortage of supply," Shcherdina wrote on Telegram earlier this week. "There is no need to create an artificial frenzy."

Plenty of eggs for everyone here in the USA.
What good is a war in Ukraine if it means you cannot get a good omelette?
No egg salad for Orthodox New Year in Russia and their Craphole-istans this year. Just vodka and kerosene.
Russians have a lot of egg and mayo based salads. I guarantee this isn’t a joke to the tens of millions of Russians trying to live on a few hundreds dollars a month.
All that land and no chicken farms??
Soviet central planning fail. As always.
and, Russian women still lack panty hose made in Russia
So much for theory that “Russia has everything it needs, unlike the West”
lol
No...The sanctions are part of the problem.
The egg crisis is Russia is so devastating that you feel compelled to post at least TWICE about it? Man, your media masters are really scraping the bottom of the disinfo barrel. I can’t wait until next week to get your regular update on Ruskie eggs. What a joke!
👍👍👍
Getting desperate, huh?
Soviet central planning stronk as bull!
At least twice this year, we were paying 3 and 4 times the norm...and then there’s the “no baby formula”
