Eggs to be sold for Rs. 55/- at 20 locations in Colombo & Gampaha

COLOMBO (News 1st) - The prices of eggs in the local market have risen to nearly Rs.70/- in many parts of the country.

Following multiple rounds of talks on the prices of eggs in the local market, authorities imposed a control price for eggs and later removed it.  

As a result, the price of eggs in the market has increased to between 65 and 70 rupees. 

As a solution to the high price of eggs, a special program was launched by the Government to sell eggs at the price of 55 rupees in the Colombo and Gampaha districts.

The ministry of agriculture said 20 lorries were deployed for this program. 

Eggs will be sold for Rs. 55/- at the Fort Railway Station, Dematagoda, Slave Island, Dehiwala, Battaramulla, Nugegoda, Maharagama, Meegoda Economic Center, Narahenpita Economic Center, Torrington, and Homagama.

In addition, eggs will be sold for Rs. 55/- in Wattala, Ja-Ela, Ragama, Negombo, Kiribathgoda, Kadawatha, and Peliyagoda.

This is a joint program by the Sri Lankan government and the Egg Producers Association.
