Consumers are paying more for eggs following a shortage caused by expensive feeds that has pushed up supplier prices in the market.

Egg prices, which had dropped to as low as Sh280 per tray in April last year, have now shot up significantly to retail at Sh360 per tray, a price that was last seen in October 2020.
