In order to rescue low egg prices, the Ministry of Agriculture and the National Poultry Association will launch the 'Low-Producing Hen Elimination Program' in July, planning to eliminate 1.8 million hens. The overproduction of eggs in the country has led to prices dropping, with farmgate and wholesale prices hitting a new low in nearly three years. The initiative aims to stabilize egg prices by eliminating hens and reducing the number of breeding hens simultaneously.
