Poultry and egg market trends in Turkey and Egypt

Overview

Poultry and egg markets in Turkey and Egypt have experienced recent price fluctuations and shifts in production dynamics. In Turkey, egg prices rose by 37.8% during August, with the unit price increasing from 4.87 lira to 6.71 lira. While producer prices also climbed by 39.9%, industry representatives noted that the retail spike was influenced by seasonal demand for the upcoming school season and rising costs for packaging, fuel, and transportation, rather than monthly feed price increases.

In Egypt, the poultry sector remains a pillar of national food security. Local production has reached 1.6 billion birds, with annual egg production exceeding 16 billion eggs. Dr. Tharwat El-Ziny, Vice President of the Poultry Producers Federation, noted that recent price fluctuations follow a period where selling prices were below production costs, causing significant losses for breeders.

By late September 2026, Egyptian egg prices saw a massive surge, with some reports indicating a 100% increase since the start of the month. Ahmed Nabil, head of the Table Egg Division at the General Union of Poultry Producers, described this as a “market correction” driven by a 30% to 40% rise in feed and raw material costs, alongside increased seasonal demand.

As of late October 2026, Egyptian poultry prices continue to fluctuate. White chicken consumer prices averaged approximately 88 EGP per kilogram, while Sasso poultry reached 113–118 EGP. Baladi chicken consumer prices averaged around 128 EGP. Despite volatility, the sector maintains significant scale, supporting roughly 3.5 million jobs with investments exceeding 200 billion EGP.
