The price of eggs from Tobago House of Assembly-managed farms in Tobago has more than doubled.
The Division of Food Security yesterday announced an increase from $7 per dozen to $15 per dozen, effective March 2. The average price for a dozen eggs in a supermarket is $30.
The division said the price of eggs and other produce at its farms had remained unchanged since 2005. It said the adjustment was caused by a significant increase in production costs, including feed and other essential farm inputs, and now aligns with the current market prices.
