Poll on Brazilian Egg Imports

In an Institute for Reform poll (RIO 2026-13, October 21, 2026, n=1,005), 78.6% said the government's import of Brazilian eggs, at a landed cost of about 44,000 won per tray of 30 including air freight and tariffs and supplied domestically at about 4,300 won, was inappropriate, against 16.2% who said it was appropriate. 76.0% said the import has no diplomatic value in Korea-Brazil relations (18.5% said it does), and 74.1% said this pilot import will not help stabilize egg supply. On future policy, 81.2% chose strengthening domestic egg production over expanding foreign import sources (10.8%).
