Price of eggs go down
Due to an overproduction,
the eggs will begin to go down in price in the next
days.
Yesterday Nutrihuevo, the
company that distributes the product to the supermarkets
Mas X Menos, Palí, Maximercado and Hipermás, announced
that the price of the kilo of eggs will be sold at 20%
cheaper (near ¢100 less).
The price of this product
is not regulated by law, so it varies according to the
market.
Jose Gutiérrez, manager
of Nutrihuevo, explained that the drop prices is due to
"an excess in the supply of the national egg
market, which benefits the consumer".
According to the Chamber
of Commercial Egg Producers, in 2002 there were 2.4
million hens in egg production. |
