Between March 4 and 10, Rosselkhoznadzor reported the import of 3.9 million edible chicken eggs from Azerbaijan to Russia without any irregularities or quality issues. Since the initiation of duty-free import, Azerbaijan has supplied 20.1 million eggs to Russia. Other countries including Belarus and Türkiye have also exported significant quantities of eggs to Russia, with 148 million and 12.3 million eggs respectively since the start of the year. Kazakhstan has also started its egg deliveries, with 600 thousand eggs last month. This surge in egg imports is a response to the sharp increase in domestic egg prices and local shortages in Russia since September last year.
