Thailand cuts egg exports by up to 50% due to widespread flooding

Heavy flooding in Thailand led the government to ask companies to cut egg exports by 30% to 50% until December 2026. The floods, which began on Sept 16, killed approximately three million hens in Chachoengsao province. To manage the supply shortage, the government is working to extend the lifespan of laying hens and asked farms to maintain the farm-gate price at 4 baht per egg.

Thailand's egg exports, which accounted for 79% of its 2025 total value to Singapore, are being significantly reduced. The government is intervening to stabilize the domestic market by maintaining prices and sourcing eggs from unaffected regions.
