Eggs soared by 40%, and Putin made a rare apology
As reported by Russia**On December 14, Vladimir Putin participated in the annual press conference and live online event. A Russian retiree complained about eggs during a live connection with Putin, saying that the price of eggs had risen from 180 rubles to 220 rubles。According to data released by the Russian Ministry of Labor, the average retirement pension in Russia is 19,779 rubles, or about 1,648 yuan. Since pensions are not high, prices can easily seriously affect the quality of life of Russian retirees.

He also said that he himself likes to eat eggs, and that he used to eat 10 for breakfast, but now he can only eat two. He promised that the egg problem will be solved as soon as possible and the market will be stabilized.
Putin's apology for the egg quickly sparked heated discussions on social media, some netizens praised Putin's sincerity and responsibility, some netizens questioned Putin's authenticity and effect, and some netizens ridiculed Putin's eating habits and physical condition.
Russian eggs**why**
So, how much have Russian eggs gone up?Why is this happening?According to the Russian Statistical Service, in October this year, the retail sales of eggs in Russia averaged 23 percent year-on-year9%。In some areas, it is even more than 40%. This is the largest increase in Russian eggs in recent years.
There are many reasons for the Russian eggs, mainly including the following aspects:
Avian influenza outbreaks. So far this year, Russia has suffered the largest outbreak of avian influenza on record, with about 1 million hens culled, affecting eggs**. The avian influenza outbreak has not only led to a decline in egg production, but has also increased the cost of epidemic prevention and transportation, further pushing up eggs**.
Production costs are rising。Affected by the situation in Ukraine, inflation in Russia is high, and the cost of raising chickens continues to rise. Galina Pobeleva, general director of the Russian Poultry Union, explained that various elements such as feed, energy, equipment and so on are all in place, which leads to a decline in the profits of farmers. According to a source in a retail chain, the purchase of **merchants*** is related to short supply.
Supermarket policy changes. The British "Times" reported that a number of large supermarket chains in the United Kingdom previously promised to stop raising eggs laid by caged hens from 2025, which also "dissuaded" many farmers to a certain extent. Caged hens lay more than 70% of the eggs in the Russian egg market, and if supermarkets stop selling them, farmers will face huge losses. Therefore, some farmers choose to reduce production, stop production or even withdraw from this industry, resulting in a decrease in eggs.
What is the impact of eggs *** on Russia?
Eggs*** have a negative impact on people's livelihood and the economy of Russia. Eggs are an indispensable food in the daily life of Russians, especially for low-income and retired groups, eggs are the main source of animal protein**. Eggs*** have a direct impact on their quality of life and health. According to Russia**, some Russians have begun to boycott eggs and switch to other alternatives, such as tofu and soy milk.
Eggs *** are also putting pressure on Russia's economy. Eggs are an ingredient in many foods and beverages, such as bread, cakes, cookies, ice cream, milkshakes, etc. Eggs*** have led to an increase in the cost of these foods and beverages, which in turn has pushed up consumer goods**. This is undoubtedly worse for Russia, which is experiencing an inflation crisis. Russia's inflation rate reached 7 in October this year, as reported by Russia**55%, the highest level in nearly six years. In order to curb inflation, the Central Bank of Russia has raised the benchmark interest rate seven times in a row, and it has now reached 825%。
How to solve the egg ** problem?
In the face of the problem of eggs, Russia and all sectors of society are actively seeking solutions. After apologizing, Putin said that he would take the following measures:
Increase domestic egg production. Putin said that the development of the poultry industry will be supported, the self-sufficiency rate of eggs will be increased and dependence on imports will be reduced. He also said that the prevention and control of avian influenza outbreaks will be strengthened to ensure the safety and quality of eggs.
Lower eggs**. Putin said that administrative and market measures will be used to stabilize eggs and prevent excessive price increases and speculation. He also said that subsidies for low-income and retired groups will be increased to ensure their basic living needs.
Increase egg consumption. Putin said that the publicity and promotion of eggs will be strengthened to raise people's awareness and love for eggs. He also said that innovation in the catering and food industry will be encouraged to develop more egg-related products and services.
It remains to be seen whether these measures can effectively solve the problem of egg **. However, one thing is certain, Putin's apology for the egg ** has attracted the attention of the whole world. This may have been a political ploy on his part, both to show his pro-people image and to divert attention from other issues. However, this may be a political risk for him, and if the egg ** issue is not effectively resolved, his prestige and trust may suffer.
