Prices for chicken eggs in Ukraine started to fall in April. This happened after a significant increase in February and March. This was stated by the Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Vitaliy Koval, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports, citing the press service of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy.

- april 4, 2025 – UAH 60.44 (down 0.7%);
- april 1, 2025 – UAH 57.68 (down 4.6%).
