What moves the egg rate in Chennai

Like everywhere else, the Chennai rate tracks feed cost, season and supply. Corn and soybean prices feed straight into what it costs to produce an egg, demand lifts through the cold months, and any disruption to transport from the nearby production zones can nudge the local price on its own. When you see the Chennai number jump or dip, it is almost always one of those at work.
