Eggs sold by South Korean farmers almost doubled from year-ago levels to about 1,924 won ($1.71) for 10 extra-large ones. Chicken, which a South Korean person consumes more of than a Japanese or Chinese, gained 16%. It’s also bringing in more than 20 million eggs from the U.S. by Feb. 10 to bolster supply. “I wouldn’t mind buying imported eggs if it weren’t for my husband’s condition,” said Lee, who’s been purchasing organically grown food since the diagnosis. “I’m just hoping prices won’t go out of control to a point where I have to switch to imported eggs.”
