The operators of supermarkets and hypermarkets in the capital are negotiating with the poultry farms outside the country to seek supply of eggs.
“We are negotiating with poultry farms in Australia and Holland and, hopefully, we will get egg supplies in about 10 days,” said, Bejoy Pulicken, Advertising and Marketing Manager in Abu Dhabi Cooperative Society (ADCS).
Pulicken added, “The eggs we import will be sold at cost price. We are trying to bring our own supplies directly, instead of depending on the local suppliers alone. This way, we will be able to give our consumers a much feasible price.”
The price of imported eggs will be less as compared to the current prices, he added.
To provide the customer a feasible discounted price on all products, the ADCS will organise a 20-day consumer festival from March 1, in which all products of the ADCS will be on promotion. “We expect that it will bring some solace to the consumers,” Pulicken added.
An Emke group representative said, “We are also negotiating with suppliers from outside the country to meet the shortage of eggs. As of now, we are selling a tray of 30 eggs at Dh15-16 (this is contrary to cafeteria owners claims), but when we import eggs, the prices will be a little high. We are negotiating with Australian poultry farms.”
A tray of 15 eggs in the market is available at Dh11, which was Dh6-7 around six months ago, while the 30-egg tray is available at Dh22 which was previously available at Dh12-16, said, Jabeer K.P, a cafeteria owner near Hamdan Street.
“Due to these increased prices we are unable to buy a carton of 360 eggs. However, since it is not available in the market, we have to buy trays of 15 or 30 eggs by paying higher prices,” Jabeer added.
Meanwhile, the restaurants and cafeterias have increased the prices of boiled eggs due to rise in prices. “We have increased the price of a boiled by 50 fils and are selling at Dh1.50 an egg,” said Abdullah, a cafeteria owner on the Electra Street. Source
