UAE authorities allow retailers to charge more for chicken and eggs – The National

The cost of weekly shopping is set to go up as a temporary price rise on eggs and poultry products takes effect across the UAE.

Higher production costs from suppliers have driven an increase in price of up to 13 per cent at the checkout, the Ministry of Economy said.

The increase followed a request from poultry firms that reported significant rises in the price of fodder, shipping and overall production expenses.
