EggPrice.world — About the Data

All prices are standardized to 10 eggs. Local prices are converted to KRW and USD using daily exchange rates from the European Central Bank.

Beyond official statistics, we hand-pick a real retail source for each country — a leading supermarket, online grocer, or marketplace where people actually buy eggs — and verify each one individually instead of relying on a single automated feed. Every source is read daily, filtered down to ordinary chicken eggs (excluding quail, duck, organic-premium, and processed products), and normalized to a price per 10 eggs. Where no representative retailer is reachable, we fall back to official market statistics and clearly distinguish retail from wholesale prices.

Egg prices vary widely between countries for structural reasons rather than chance. Local production costs — chicken feed, labor, energy, and land — differ from one economy to another, as do food-safety rules, farming methods, and animal-welfare standards. Supply and demand, dependence on imports, taxes, and the relative strength of each currency push prices further apart, so the same eggs can cost several times more in one country than in another.

Exchange rates are updated daily from the ECB reference rates.
