The cost of eggs is expected to decrease as egg suppliers lower prices to supermarkets by 7 to 8%, following a drop in the cost of grains given to hens.

Despite rising inflation and declining household consumption, egg sales in France have increased by almost 4% compared to the previous year, as eggs are seen as a cheaper alternative to meat during the crisis.
