As of October 8, 2026, the Les Marchés newspaper published its weekly French Egg Quotation, tracking the evolving prices of eggs in France. This report breaks down prices into two categories: packable eggs, which are sold in cartons for retail, and non-packable eggs, used in industrial processing. A new category, code 2 eggs, will be included in the quotation starting in November 2026. For packable eggs, demand for large French eggs has been weak, with wholesalers turning to cheaper imported eggs from the European Union or other regions. European egg prices have remained stable or even dropped, particularly in Spain. Larger sizes, such as G and TG, are struggling to find buyers, with some producers downgrading their eggs from G to M size. However, trade in M-sized eggs is more consistent, and the price difference between M and G is shrinking. Smaller eggs, meanwhile, are performing better in the market. Overall, demand for packaged eggs remains strong, but suppliers are having trouble meeting the need for code 1 and 0 eggs, which are typically smaller. This week, several Lidl stores sold boxes of 12 Spanish eggs for 0.55 cents (about 4.6 cents per egg), which is believed to be a clearance sale due to expiring product dates. For non-packable eggs, the market has seen little change, with industrial buyers remaining cautious. Some report that demand for processed egg products has been disappointing, likely due to reduced consumption in a challenging economic climate and increased imports of liquid egg products. According to the Itavi, egg product imports rose significantly in the first half of the year, especially from Spain, which saw an 8% increase, and Belgium, which recorded a 6.7% rise. As a result, few price changes have been reported for non-packable eggs. Spot market exchanges for code 2 eggs are limited due to a lack of supply. However, industrial buyers are in agreement about their needs, as many of their customers have updated their specifications. These buyers are sourcing eggs from the EU, where prices are either stable or decreasing, depending on individual negotiations.
