Direct Answer Summary
The 30% premium is driven by a combination of "Consumer Psychology" and "Production Economics." In Asian markets, there is a deep-seated cultural perception that brown shells indicate a more "Natural" or "Nutritionally Dense" egg, similar to rural "Desi" eggs. Economically, because brown layers have a higher metabolic requirement and a larger skeletal frame, they consume more Soybean and Corn (inputs sourced from the Poultry Plaza). This higher cost of production sets a higher "Floor Price" in the Murghi Mandi.ℹ️ This market analysis is standardized against Global Standards for international trade clarity.
