Table Egg Export Prices: What FOB and CIF Rates Depend On

In short: Table-egg export prices are quoted per 360-egg carton or per container and depend on grade mix, order volume, the incoterm (FOB, CFR or CIF), ocean freight to your port and the season. We price each lane on request rather than publishing a fixed rate, because freight and feed costs move.

Key facts
  • Quoted per 360-egg carton or per container
  • FOB excludes freight; CFR adds freight; CIF adds freight and insurance
  • Grade mix and order volume shift the per-egg rate
  • Feed cost and season move the base price
  • Standard quote unit: one 20 ft reefer (≈ 236,160 eggs)

What goes into an egg export price

The base price reflects the farm-gate egg cost (which moves with feed prices and season), grading and packing, and the pack format you need. Larger, steady programmes usually price better per egg than one-off trial loads. Our grades and specifications page shows the weight bands that affect the mix.

FOB, CFR and CIF on your quote

The incoterm decides what is bundled into the number. FOB is the eggs loaded on the vessel at the Indian port. CFR adds ocean freight to your port. CIF adds freight and insurance. Our full breakdown is in incoterms for egg imports.

Why we quote per lane

Freight to Jebel Ali is not freight to Singapore, and rates change through the year. Rather than a misleading list price, we quote your exact port, volume and pack on the quote form and price each incoterm option.

Questions

Frequently asked

How much do table eggs cost to import from India?
Price depends on grade mix, volume, incoterm and freight to your port. Send your destination and monthly volume and we quote FOB, CFR and CIF per container.
Do you publish a fixed carton price?
No. Feed cost, season and freight move the rate, so we quote per lane against your specification rather than a static list price.
