KIM HOCK EGGS MERCHANT SUPPLIER PTE. LTD. Business Review

Too many eggs in S'pore now due to oversupply from imports, 250,000 eggs thrown away

Kim Hock Egg Distributor's manager shared that their sales had fallen by around half during the last couple of months during the outbreak. While they have cut their egg imports by roughly 50 per cent, prices were still reduced by around 10 per cent. The manager added that some hawkers were using a lot fewer eggs due to the dip in customers, with some using 60 per day during the pandemic period from 300 eggs a day previously. "We had to throw away 250,000 eggs imported from Thailand two weeks ago, as reluctant as we were," the manager lamented.
