Controlled Egg Prices to Rise by 2.1% in Israel Starting November 1
Controlled egg prices in Israel will rise by 2.1% on November 1, alongside an 11% to 14% hike in commercial flour prices driven by soaring global wheat costs.
Egg prices under price control will rise by 2.1% starting November 1, adding 27 to 33 agorot per 12-egg pack depending on size. A 12-pack of L-size eggs will cost 14.54 shekels, while M-size eggs will cost 13.4 shekels.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the price increase reflects changes in production and marketing costs throughout the value chain, including feed, wages, energy, and packaging. The automatic price update mechanism, introduced in 2023, is based on a transparent formula that does not require ministerial sign-off.
In addition to eggs, flour sold to bakeries will rise by 11% to 14% in early November due to surging wheat prices caused by the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war and shipping costs. While consumer flour prices remain unaffected for now, the hike threatens to drive up the cost of bread and baked goods.
