The price of eggs has returned to a record high. Chen Jizhong, the chairman of the Council of Agriculture, said that the price of eggs in Taiwan is already cheaper than that of many countries. He also named Japan and the United States for their soaring egg prices. 89 yuan, but a female netizen traveling in Japan said that a box of 10 eggs in Japanese supermarkets only sells for NT$48, and the consumption exceeds NT$226. You can also get a discount when you buy eggs. The pictures and texts have sparked heated discussions. A few netizens ridiculed, “Chen Jizhong is the only one in the world who doesn’t know the egg prices in other countries.”
The original PO pointed out in the Facebook group “Burning Grudge Commune” yesterday (15th) that a box of 10 eggs found in a Japanese supermarket was priced at 213 yen, equivalent to about NT$48. She said that if she spends more than 1,000 yen (approximately NT$226) in a Japanese supermarket, she can buy a box of eggs at a discounted price of 128 yen (approximately NT$29). She questioned why the median salary in Japan is twice that of Taiwan. The price is half of the price in Taiwan?”
“Zhongshi News Network” actually went to the supermarket to check on the 14th, and the price of a box of 10 eggs fell between 60 and 89 yuan, and two of them were already on sale and still cost 80 yuan and 88 yuan. A box in Taiwan is the cheapest Compared with 48 yuan for a box in Japan, 60 yuan is 12 yuan more expensive, and it is 31 yuan higher than the preferential price in Japanese supermarkets.
The post was exposed, and netizens were also quite impressed. They believed that there were three reasons for the soaring egg prices, including bird flu, feed costs, and low winter temperatures. “The recent egg prices in Taiwan are really exaggerated.” Be careful of being caught by the fire”, “Why can Japan sell eggs so cheap?”, “How can the world keep up with Taiwan”, “Why can Japan sell eggs so cheap?”, “Only Chen Jizhong in the world does not know eggs from other countries price”.
In the comments, some people also said that the price of eggs is too biased, and we should look at the overall price comparison, “Is there only eggs left in life? There is no need to compare other prices”, “Japanese prices are twice as much as ours”, “Comparisons are in the general direction How do some things compare to some expensive ones and some cheap ones?”
