Trade Minister Nalin Fernando says that there will be no change in the price of eggs announced through the recent gazette announcement.

The Minister mentioned that there was a discussion with some members of the Egg Producers Association yesterday where they proposed different prices.

However, the Minister said the government was unable to allow the sale of eggs at the prices suggested as the gazette has set a maximum retail price for eggs.

But following the discussion, Egg Producers Association said the Minister said they would be allowed to sell eggs at a maximum retail price of Rs. 50 each.
