　　There are signs of rising egg prices in Taiwan.

In October, the price of feed on the island was finally expected to be lowered by 0.4 yuan per kilogram, but it was short-lived. In November, the price of feed returned to the upward trend.

　　Many large feed manufacturers on the island have issued "price increase orders" to gradually increase the price of feed starting from November 1, by 0.5 yuan per kilogram, which means that all the part that was lowered in October has risen back.

As the cost has risen again, chicken farmers are complaining and calling for an increase in the price of eggs.

　　At the beginning of this year, there was a "chicken shortage" in the island, coupled with the straight rise in feed costs, the price of eggs on the island rose three times in a row, and the price of production land rose from 36.5 yuan per catty (1 catty is 600 grams) in March to 42.5 yuan in July. Yuan, a new high in recent years.

　　Wang Jianpei, secretary-general of the Taiwan Chicken Breeding Association, previously stated that from the perspective of cost, the feed has been raised again, and from the perspective of the supply and demand market mechanism, the overall egg market on the island is currently in a "tiny" situation, especially when winter comes. Eggs are a must when eating hot pot, regardless of cost or supply and demand, the price of eggs has the conditions to rise.

　　According to the statistics released by Taiwan’s “General Office of Accounting and Accounting” on November 8, Taiwan’s October CPI rose by 2.72% year-on-year, which was slightly smaller than September’s 2.76%. After deducting vegetables, fruits and energy, the core CPI rose by 2.96% year-on-year; The CPI of important people's livelihood materials has risen close to 7%, and the rise is still expanding, among which the 39.99% rise in eggs is the most significant.

　　Observing the changes in the seven categories of CPI materials in October, the food category still had the highest increase, reaching 5.17%.

The "General Office of Accounting and Accounting" believes that the main reason is that the prices of eggs and meat have been affected by the increase in feeding costs, and the prices of aquatic products, outside meals, prepared foods, vegetables and dairy products have also continued to rise.

　　In addition, the recurring salary of employed employees in Taiwan in the first nine months of this year was 44,000 yuan, an increase of 2.99% over the same period last year.
