Are cartels colluding to fix higher prices for eggs, asks Saifuddin

PUTRAJAYA: The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry is investigating the recent rise in egg prices, including whether cartels are colluding to fix these prices.

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said action can be taken if there was price fixing for "unreasonable profits" and added that egg exports can also be limited to ensure an improved local supply.
