Egg Shortage
CONSUMERS looking for eggs in hypermarkets around town are still searching in vain as the shortage caused by a ban on poultry from Saudi Arabia has not eased.
Although a ban on eggs from India, the cheapest available before the embargo, has recently been lifted and large consignments are on their way to Doha, it will be another couple of days before they are available, industry sources said.
A Gulf Times survey of five major hypermarkets yesterday revealed a bleak picture – no eggs whatsoever and no idea when they will be arriving.
The eggs available at small grocery shops were going for QR1 each.
“We received a few trays of eggs four days ago, from the UAE and a local farm, but the stock ran out within hours,” said a manager at an Al Meera outlet.
The UAE eggs were priced at QR22 and the local ones at QR13.75, she said.
With the festival season coming to an end, the demand for cakes and bakery items which have eggs as ingredients will fall and ease the shortage somewhat, the sources said.

I say stop eating eggs and bring the traders to their knee
I just glanced over and not read the entire comments. Dont get angry if my comments are already discussed.
Eggs are available at select places but cost is too much. better have the mother of eggs - dear Chicken. I call it the mother of all non-vegs. Remember this is dry land and so forget veggis.. save water.
Ban on Egg imports from subcontinent has been lifted and slowly we will see them at all the shops but i bet concerned people are deliberating not coming out with proper stocks for (just my theory...). they want us to get adjusted for @QAR1.50 per egg today. After looking at the situation it will be reduced but not to previous levels...
So be ready to shell more for eggs in future... CHICKEN IS THE BEST
I managed to buy a tray of eggs from our compound for 36 Q.R. only!
It's great to be loved!
15.50 per Tray[15nos] at Shop rite today
Thats a good tip ........ thanks
the other eggs were scrambled, that's why she's checking whether it IS Pete or not :D
how did she know that is pete. had some birth mark while hatching.

yeh, but who cares?
People will steal for their boiled eggs at breakfast, they'll do anything for that fried egg on toast after a couple of pints, they'll lie, and cheat, and embezzle for scrambled eggs at tea time.
Don't ya see ..... eggs are the new Pepsi-ain, the new wonder drug.
Criminal empires have been built on this.
Don't you see now, why Doha's crime rate has rocketed recently?
Lack of eggs, and crime - a statistical perfect correlation.
I rest my case (and could you fill it with a box of six eggs whilst I wait?)
Thank you for listening, thank you for being there for me.

Yup,

Just add a hot, yoke-runny egg, fried, to two slices of thin white bread and some crispy bacon, a bit of tom. sauce, pepper, and you are THERE!

No eggs means that Qatari is not in a position to feed the people in case of an emergency, this means if Saudi should be overrun with mad cow disease (which may happen) who will supply Qatar with milk, never mind eggs and poultry, which may of course run out soon.
Multi million QR buildings are being built which will house about 250 people but nearly now 1.000.000 people can't get eggs and this is an emergency here in Qatar. Qatar should be self sufficient and not dependant on resources from Saudi Arabia - what are the Municipality and Ministry of Agriculture doing all the time?? Where is there planning to feed their own people or wil this be another case of "Josephine" if they can't find bread let them eat cake??? I do wonder.
Eggs travel in crates if eaten all will make you look like a barrel
why not mom come over on weekend after your bar hopping
good for you..
we planned to bake a cake last tuesday but can't find
any eggs..
