Hyderabad, March 6 -- Egg prices in the city have fallen sharply over the past three days following disruptions to exports caused by the ongoing war involving Iran, Israel and the United States.

The decline is mainly attributed to the halt in egg exports to West Asia. In the wake of the war, several key ports and airports in the region have been affected due to heightened security concerns and disruptions to shipping routes.

As a result, exports of chicken eggs from India have come to a standstill in some parts of the State.

Large quantities of eggs that were meant for international markets have now accumulated in local markets, leading to a sudden oversupply and a steep drop in prices.
