What moves the egg rate in Kolkata
Like everywhere else, the Kolkata 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 Kolkata number jump or dip, it is almost always one of those at work.
