South Korea will import 100 million eggs in August and September to help stabilize high prices amid a pick-up in consumer inflation.
The country imported 70 million eggs in June and brought in 144 million eggs between January and May to ease the bird-flu triggered supply shortage.
The price surge of eggs is continuing even as the country has not reported cases of bird flu since April.
Finance Minister Hong Nam-ki said the South Korean government will mobilize all policy means to boost the supply of agricultural products ahead of the Chuseok fall harvest holiday in September.
