About Us

Last updated: August 14, 2025

Eggrate.org is an independent informational website dedicated to publishing accurate, timely, and region-specific egg price information across India. Our purpose is simple: bring transparency to local egg markets so that consumers, retailers, wholesalers, poultry farmers, and researchers can make better decisions. Over the years we have grown from a small data feed into a robust platform covering hundreds of cities and dozens of districts — and we continue to expand.

Our mission

Our mission is to provide accessible, free, and trustworthy market price data for eggs. We believe that better information leads to fairer markets. By publishing daily prices in city and state pages, trend summaries, and market insights, we help stakeholders across India understand supply and demand dynamics, seasonal patterns, and short-term price movements. Our goal is not to replace local market knowledge, but to supplement it with a centralized, searchable resource that saves time and reduces uncertainty.

Who uses Eggrate.org?

Our content is used by a wide cross-section of people connected to poultry and food markets, including:

• Consumers who want to confirm local retail rates and compare prices across nearby cities.
• Retailers and small shop owners tracking wholesale and retail differentials to set margins.
• Wholesalers and distributors monitoring price shifts and demand pockets to optimize logistics.
• Poultry farmers and feed suppliers checking market conditions to time sales.
• Researchers and analysts using aggregated data for reports or academic work.
• Journalists and policymakers seeking local price signals for stories or policy insights.

What we provide

Eggrate.org focuses on data quality and clarity. Key offerings include:

• Daily city-wise egg rates: Separate pages for individual cities and towns with the latest retail/wholesale figures where available.
• State overviews: Aggregated trends and average rates across districts and major centers in each state.
• Historical snapshots: Time series and archived rates to help analyze trends over weeks and months.
• Market commentary: Short notes on factors affecting prices — e.g., supply disruptions, festivals, feed cost changes, or extreme weather.
• Searchable database: Easy navigation to find city pages, compare dates, and view recent changes.

How we collect and verify data

Data integrity is our top priority. We combine automated and manual collection methods to ensure the numbers we publish reflect ground realities as closely as possible:

• Local sources: We maintain a network of local market contacts, retailers, and wholesalers in many towns who provide direct rate updates.
• Market reports and bulletins: Where available, we ingest public mandi reports and bulletins issued by agricultural or market committees.
• Publicly available online sources: We cross-reference with government and trade portals, when they publish price data.
• User submissions: Registered contributors and visitors can report discrepancies via our contact form; each report is verified before any correction is made.
• Automated scraping (limited & controlled): For some large data sources we use automated feeds, but these are validated by our team and flagged for manual review when anomalies are detected.

Note: Because markets are dynamic and localized, our published rates may differ slightly from vendor prices at a particular shop. We always recommend confirming prices locally before making any business commitments.

Quality control and corrections

We operate a multi-step verification process:

1. Automated checks: Our system flags large deviations, unexpected changes, or duplicates for review.
2. Manual review: A moderator checks flagged items using alternate sources or by contacting field contacts.
3. User feedback loop: We accept correction requests via email or the contact form and respond with confirmation or explanation.

If you find an incorrect rate, please send a clear message with the city name, date, and source (photo or vendor name if available) to support@eggrate.org. We aim to acknowledge corrections within 48 hours and update verified errors as soon as reasonably possible.

Eggrate.org is non-partisan and content-focused. We do not provide financial or investment advice. Our editorial work is limited to data presentation and concise market commentary. Any analysis or forecasts are presented as opinions and are explicitly labeled. We encourage readers to combine our data with local knowledge and professional advice when making commercial decisions.

Transparency and ethics

We are committed to openness about how we operate. This includes:

• Disclosing primary data sources where feasible;
• Maintaining a corrections policy to fix errors and document major changes;
• Respecting user privacy (see our Privacy Policy) and not selling personal data;
• Labeling sponsored content or affiliate links clearly and separately from editorial content.

Monetization & ads

Security and data protection

We use industry standard practices (HTTPS, secure hosting, access controls) to protect site data and user submissions. While we make every reasonable effort to protect information stored on our servers, no system is perfectly secure — you should avoid sending sensitive personal data through forms or email.

A: Most city pages are updated daily. Some smaller markets may be updated less frequently depending on source availability.
