Poultry Prices in Egypt Hit EGP 97.2 per Kg, Highest in 10 Months

Poultry prices in Egypt continued their upward trend in February 2026, reaching EGP 97.2 per kilogram, marking the highest level in ten months, according to official data released by the Cabinet’s Information and Decision Support Center.

The increase follows a decline in poultry prices in Egypt to around EGP 85 per kilogram in December 2025, before rising again to approximately EGP 93.7 in January, and extending gains into February amid notable shifts in the food commodities market.

Monthly Volatility in the Market

Official figures highlight significant fluctuations in poultry prices in Egypt over recent months, with a late-2025 dip followed by a steady upward trajectory at the start of the new year.

February’s reading represents the highest level recorded in nearly ten months.

Impact on Consumers and Food Costs

The rise in poultry prices directly affects household budgets, as chicken remains a primary source of protein for many Egyptian families.

Continued movements in poultry prices in Egypt could also influence related food product costs across local markets.

Authorities continue to monitor price developments closely to ensure market stability and protect consumers amid ongoing supply and demand pressures.
