The price of eggs has significantly increased in cities and major cities across Kenya, as the country faces an acute shortage of the usually cheap source of protein. Many Kenyans are now forced to pay Sh320 to Sh340 for a smaller crate that carries 15 eggs, while the price of a 30-egg crate ranges from Sh460 to Sh600. At small retail shops, an egg is ranging between Sh15 and Sh20. According to Paul Wabaka, an egg supplier in the Western region, he now prefers to get eggs from Nairobi than Kampala, citing the increased prices of eggs from Uganda. Poultry experts have attributed the sharp rise in the prices of eggs in the country to the scarcity of production, resulting from the rising cost of feeds and high demand.
