Who has been gaining the most at the cost of Maggi in Bengaluru?

The entire furore surrounding the Maggi ban has seemed to help one poultry product in Bengaluru. Eggs. According to a report in Bangalore Mirror, the demand for eggs in the local market has surpassed supply. And the price of a single egg, which was Rs 3 a few weeks ago, has risen by 67% and has now touched Rs 5. The report mentions that the price of an egg in the wholesale market is Rs 4.30. M C R Shetty, president of Karnataka Hatcheries Association, told the newspaper that “There could be a clear relationship: Maggi's loss is the egg's gain. Recently when beef was banned in Maharashtra, chicken prices saw a hike.” He mentions a “shift in patterns” of consumption which lead a certain food “gaining at the cost of others.” K Giridhar, the business manager of National Egg Coordination Committee (NECC), and All India Poultry Development Council, is quoted saying that “It certainly has some impact. We say two-minute eggs and they say two-minute Maggi. He says that it would be incorrect to assume that all those consuming Maggi had shifted to eggs, “But to a certain extent it is true. There is no ban on Maggi in Karnataka.”
