Eggs to be imported as long as prices remain high: Minister
Minister of Trade, Commerce and Food Security Nalin Fernando announced that the State Trading Corporation (STC) has granted permission to import eggs until April 2024.
He noted that the importation of eggs was a response to the unjustifiable rise in the cost of eggs in the local market.
Minister Fernando mentioned that the Government will continue to import eggs if local egg producers fail to reduce the high prices.
Adding that, he said, the remaining stocks of eggs which were imported during the last few months will be released to the local market during the festive season.
The decision follows after egg producers told the Minister that eggs cannot be sold below Rs. 55 each until the end of Christmas.
