In the wholesale market, today's standard egg price in Tokyo has reached 260 yen per kilogram, or about 15 yuan, which has not only more than doubled at the beginning of the year, but also reached the highest value in seven years and four months. There are two main reasons for the rise of egg price in Japan. On the one hand, the demand for eggs has increased greatly due to more people cooking at home under the epidemic situation. Another important reason is the outbreak of the most serious bird flu on record in Japan since November last year. So far, this round of avian influenza in Japan has spread to 18 counties and 52 farms. It not only spread the most widely, but also killed nearly 10 million chickens, more than five times of the previous maximum.
