Chicken eggs drop in price to more than 1,000 VND/egg due to false rumors
The Vietnam Poultry Association has just sent a document to relevant authorities about false information about fake egg production that is spreading on social networks, causing the price of chicken eggs to drop to 1,200-1,300 VND/egg.
In a document sent to the Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ministry of Science and Technology, the Vietnam Poultry Association stated: Recently, on a number of social networking sites, false information about the production of fake eggs in our country has appeared and spread.
This information causes confusion and anxiety among consumers and negatively affects domestic poultry egg production and trading activities.
The association said that the price of eggs purchased at farms, which was lower than the cost price (meaning the breeders were at a loss), only 1,400-1,500 VND/egg, has now dropped to 1,200-1,300 VND/egg.
Not only that, production and business establishments are also facing many difficulties in consuming poultry eggs. Many businesses and households raising egg-laying chickens are suffering heavy losses and are now at risk of bankruptcy.
The Vietnam Poultry Association emphasizes that there is no scientific evidence in the world that fake eggs can be produced that have the same characteristics as natural chicken eggs. In fact, in our country, in the past as well as at present, no fake eggs have been discovered circulating on the market.
Therefore, it can be affirmed that the information spreading on social networks about the production of fake eggs is completely fabricated.
Therefore, the Vietnam Poultry Association recommends that the authorities investigate, verify and strictly handle those who have spread false information about fake eggs. Because this information not only causes confusion for consumers but also causes heavy losses for farmers.
