The farmer or grower$3.82–$3.83

ABARES gross unit value of eggs: 382.8 c/dozen in 2025-26 (estimate) and 382.4 c/dozen in 2026-27 (forecast), so $3.82 to $3.83 a dozen. This is a national average across all grades and all farming systems, cage included. ABARES says the figure includes containers, commission and other costs of getting eggs to their main markets, so it is the price leaving the farm's grading floor, not bare farm cost. No separate figure is published for cage-free or free-range eggs, which cost more to produce, so the real spread between farms is wider than this range shows. Source

Processing and packingnot published

Most eggs are graded, washed and packed by the farming company itself, and ABARES' producer figure already includes cartons. Nobody publishes packing as a separate cost per dozen.

Freight and wholesalenot published

No egg company or retailer publishes the cost per dozen of trucking eggs from the grading floor to distribution centres and stores.
