The average retail price of 30 eggs shot up 75 percent to 9,491 won ($8.09) as of Friday compared with prices before the first bird flu outbreak of the winter in mid-November.

South Korea has received its first shipment of eggs from the United States to help it tackle a nationwide shortage caused by a bird flu outbreak.

The country had to kill more than 20 million chickens after its worst-ever bird flu epidemic.
