Egg prices surge across Europe ahead of Easter
Egg prices across Europe have risen sharply ahead of Easter, far outpacing overall inflation. Spain recorded the biggest increase at over 31%, followed by North Macedonia and Portugal with significant jumps. Across the EU, egg prices have climbed around 18% year-on-year, driven by strong demand, supply pressures and ongoing risks like avian flu. While some countries saw only modest rises, the trend highlights growing food cost pressures during a key seasonal period.
