The maple with 30 eggs is close to $400

Nevertheless, it is ruled out that at least in the short term there are difficulties in meeting a sufficient supply or in nutritional qualityalthough In general, smaller sizes and higher values can be appreciated.

A survey carried out by The Observer in fair stalls and other points of sale allowed us to know that there is a wide variety of prices, although it is difficult since there are offers of a maple of 30 units for something more than $ 200but yes several cases already in which $ 300 is exceeded.

The price this Friday the 17th at the Gaboto and Chaná fair, in Cordón.

At the local Don Pollo, in the Montevideo Agricultural Market (MAM), the price of the maple of 30 units of the largest egg, the jumbo, was $370.

Mario Fassanello, a poultry producer in San Bautista, Canelones, after commenting that in that area of the country in the last few hours only 5 to 10 mm fell (which is not enough for almost anything), explained that the intense heat that occurred recently has an impact on layer sheds, which eat less and lay fewer eggs.

Therefore, the drought complicates them, but it is not the trigger for the increases.

He remarked that “it is something that always happens in the summer”, alluding to the fact that the supply decreases and if the demand is sustained, the price rises.

“It hasn’t gone up much, I think $100 a case of 30 dozen in the market,” Fassanello said.

He said that in the Metropolitan Food Unit (UAM), where he sells, the consumer can find maple with 30 units from $220 to $250.
