In March 2025, the price of eggs in the European Union was on average 6.7% higher than in March 2024.  

That's according to the latest data from Eurostat, the statistical office of the EU.

Among the EU countries, the highest increase in annual inflation for eggs was recorded in Czechia (+46% in March 2025 compared with March 2024), followed by Slovakia (+29.8%) and Hungary (+26.1%).

Meanwhile, the price of eggs decreased the most in the Netherlands (-3.6%), Luxembourg (-3.2%) and Greece (-2.0%).

Egg prices have registered increases so far in 2025 (3.4% in January and 4.1% in February) compared to the same periods in 2024, according to the Eurostat data.

The year 2024 saw negative rates of change in 10 out of 12 months when compared with 2023.

However, these increases were smaller compared to those registered in 2022 and 2023, where all months between April 2022 and September 2023 had double-digit increases.

The largest was 31.2% in February 2023 compared to the same month in 2022.

The biggest producer of eggs in the EU last year was France, followed by Germany and Spain.
