Bavarian paper: Egg shortage ahead of Easter possible due to Czech “egg tourism”

The Bavarian daily Süddeutsche Zeitung has warned German consumers of a possible egg shortage ahead of Easter due to Czech “egg tourism”. Many Czech consumers are travelling to Bavaria to purchase eggs, which have seen a sharp increase in prices in the Czech Republic. A number of German media have reported on the rise in demand for eggs in the country’s border regions. As a result, egg prices in Germany are growing. However, retailers do not expect an egg shortage in the weeks before Easter.In the Czech Republic as well as in other EU countries, the price of eggs has gone up due to a new EU directive on laying hen farms that went into effect this year.
