Among the world’s “most-egg-eating” nations Armenia is the fifth.

I rule out panic and deficit in Armenia’s egg market towards the New Year, expert Manase Yepremyan stated during a press conference on Wednesday.

He informed that 5 million eggs are already stored in the country, 5 million more is expected to be imported, and the local poultry farms will produce close to 35 million eggs. And as per Yepremyan, this is plentiful to meet the demand.      

To note, the price of eggs rose virtually three times towards previous New Year. But this time, according to Yepremyan, the egg producers and the Agriculture Ministry learned the necessary lessons from last year’s crisis and are making serious preparations.

The expert also said the crisis in the egg market is caused by the consumers’ conduct, as they groundlessly store eggs in their refrigerators. 

According to Manase Yepremyan, the Armenians are among the world’s “most-egg-eating” nations, as each Armenian annually consumes 284 eggs, and this the world’s fifth greatest amount.
