Chitwan. As the production of eggs decreases with the summer season, the price has increased. Nepal Layers Poultry Association has increased the support price of eggs. According to the association, a farm rate of Rs 515 per crate of 930 eggs for large eggs and Rs 485 for medium eggs has been fixed. According to Madan Pokharel, secretary of the association, the consumer price has been fixed at Rs 25 per unit. Earlier, large eggs were fixed at Rs 485 and medium eggs at Rs 435, he said.
