As we know, egg prices continue to rise after Lebaran, based on Info Food Jakarta, the highest price being 31,000 rupees per kilogram on the Pulo Gadung market, then the lowest price of 23,000 Rp per kg to Pasar Cempaka Putih. Thus, the average price of eggs in Jakarta is 28.395 rupees per kilo

On the other hand, there are some areas in Indonesia that have extreme cold weather like in Dieng, Central Java. This lowers the stock of chicken petals because it takes the right temperature for the eggs to hatch.
Not only that, Lebaran's longer vacations in this year also trigger the availability of laying hens. The reason why workers who do holiday activities to produce laying hens can not be made, then post-holiday breeders rely only on the stock of laying hens.
Meanwhile, demand for chicken and eggs during Ramadan and even after Lebaran continues to increase. This does not imbalance the needs of society with the availability of these products.
"From the Sulpai side to the consumer market directly, the reduction of eggs is caused by long vacations, which is why the farm workers are also on vacation," he said.
Insufficient supply and demand also pushes potential players in the chicken egg trade chain to increase profit margins.
"Of what potential is supposed to benefit from the profit margin in the commercial chain, the step forward we are asking for and the positive response of the principals is not to take additional profits," he explained. .
