Breaking local news in Boksburg
South Africans are outraged by the recent escalation of egg prices – and subsequent purchase limiting by retailers – with a tray of 30 costing more than R129.99, while 60 eggs cost around R239.99.
Driving the price is the recent avian flu outbreak, with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development conducting tests to determine the impact of this infectious disease in South Africa. However, they are most resistant to the infection, while chickens and turkeys are particularly susceptible. Control measures to manage the spread of the outbreaks are in place and farmers are encouraged to observe prescribed biosecurity measures.
