Overview

On 29 July 2026 both Kuwait and Egypt reported modest but notable movements in key food‑market prices. In Kuwait, poultry prices were largely stable, with white chicken trading between 60‑62 EGP /kg at farm gate and 65‑75 EGP /kg in retail, while higher‑grade varieties such as sasoo‑type and local (بلدي) chicken fetched 87‑190 EGP /kg. Egg cartons showed wholesale rates around 91‑99 EGP and retail prices near 107‑110 EGP, varying by colour. Egypt’s chicken market saw a slight dip for white chicken (‑3 EGP to about 75 EGP /kg retail) and a modest rise for local chicken (+1 EGP to roughly 117 EGP /kg), with farm‑gate listings around 61‑88 EGP /kg. A separate report for the same day highlighted mixed shifts in seafood prices. In Kuwait, the wholesale price of قشر البياض rose sharply to 310 EGP /kg, while ممتاز جمبري fell by about 25 EGP to 800‑900 EGP /kg; other items such as البلطي, السبيط and الكابوريا stayed within prior ranges. In Egypt’s Al‑Obour market (30 July), القشر البياض fell to 190‑290 EGP /kg, البلطي ممتاز dropped 1 EGP to 74‑80 EGP /kg, and الكابوريا rose by 10 EGP to 50‑200 EGP. Prices for ممتاز جمبري remained steady at 780‑900 EGP /kg, and المكرونة السويسي slipped 10 EGP. On 31 July 2026 the Egyptian poultry exchange reported the average retail price of white chicken fell further to about 74 EGP/kg, a two‑pound drop from the previous day, while wholesale prices held steady at 58‑59 EGP/kg. Locally raised “baladi” chicken rose to roughly 116 EGP/kg. Other cuts were listed at ≈250 EGP/kg for boneless breast, ≈205 EGP/kg for bone‑in breast, and ≈318 EGP/kg for whole birds (≈1.5 kg). Egg cartons remained unchanged at around 107 EGP for red‑egg and 110 EGP for white‑egg cartons.
