The department has asked the Egg Producers Association and major farms to maintain the farm-gate price at 4 baht (US$0.12) per egg, Jirawuth added.
He has also asked egg collectors to source eggs from unaffected areas and distribute them to retailers, while cooperating on maintaining prices.
Last year, Thailand exported 1.7 billion baht (US$50.46 million) worth of eggs, mostly to Singapore, which accounted for 79 per cent of the total, with Hong Kong receiving 9 per cent, according to agriculture ministry data.
From Oct 9 to Oct 13, Thailand’s eastern and central regions, including Bangkok and its suburbs, as well as parts of the south, are expected to experience an increase in rainfall, with heavy rain in some places, according to the weather agency.
