Ministry hatches plan to solve egg shortage in South
The Commerce Ministry has ordered its offices in the three southern border provinces to collect data on the demand of eggs and ensure that there is no shortage during this crisis period.
Sansern Samalapa, vice minister for Commerce, said after the export of eggs was prohibited the price of the item dropped and many provinces have encountered an oversupply.
However, the situation in the three southern border provinces of Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani is different, as there are fewer chick egg farms and eggs need to be brought across from different provinces or imported from Malaysia. There is a shortage now because imports have stopped and there is no interprovincial transport.
Hence, the ministry has decided to send a batch of eggs to these provinces to help the locals.
