Dumbastheycome Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 10 days back went to a wholesale outlet similar to a small Makro . There was a very large queue of people observing social distancing as they progressively moved forward to accept a tray of eggs and a recyclable bag containing a variety of food items including rice. It appeared to be organized by a large Thai Company and was free to the recipients who mostly appeared to be elderly. I would estimate they gave away several thousand trays at least. While it would be safe to say the cost would be a tax deductible for the company as promotional that takes not much away from the initiative. While people might like to scoff at the concept I guess the purpose of the Thai Egg Board is quite similar to the American Egg Board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I thought chickens stop laying or at least not as much in the hot weather, at least that was the excuse last time there was a shortage of eggs, regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 8 hours ago, Scott Tracy said: I've seen eggs for sale in UK Aldi, online ad: https://www.aldi.co.uk/c/groceries/fresh-food/milk-butter-and-eggsq=3apopularpage=0 Ranging from 7.5p to 21.5p each. At today's conversion of £1 = 39 baht, 2.68 baht to produce an egg in Thailand is 6.8p. That's farmer's price. If a store in the UK can sell eggs at 7.5p per egg, which includes marketing, packaging and other costs, how come in Thailand it costs 2.68 baht to produce an egg? At my local Kroger store in the U.S., I can currently get 18 Grade A large eggs for $1. = 1.72 Baht each. At Walmart they are 2.5 Baht each. However, prices fluctuate all the time. $1 a dozen is more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
