The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a proposal to import eggs to stabilize the prices of cakes and other bakery products during the upcoming Christmas and Ramadan festive seasons. This move aims to ensure a sufficient supply of eggs for the bakery industry.

Of these, 95% have been distributed to consumers at an affordable price of Rs. 37 through Lanka Sathosa’s network of outlets. The period for importing eggs concluded on April 30, 2024.
