Farmers have said any egg shortages on supermarket shelves are as a result of producers not being paid enough.
The Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) said producers have been warning retailers and egg packers that farmgate prices are not financially sustainable to meet growing demand.
Grocery retailers have not reported any issues around shortages of eggs for sale, however, according to Tesco sales of fresh eggs have seen a double-digit percentage increase in the last year.
Currently egg producers are paid an average of around €1.52 per dozen of eggs by retailers and packers, however, the IFA wants this figure to rise to €1.75 per dozen.
A dozen of standard medium-sized free-range eggs costs just over €4 in most supermarkets, with barn eggs around €1 cheaper per dozen.
IFA Poultry Chair Brendan Soden said farmers have "sought an increase of 2 cent an egg for free-range and organic production, and 1 cent an egg for barn eggs.
"This must be ring-fenced and returned directly to all egg producers. Under the right financial conditions, they are more than willing to meet this growing demand for Irish eggs," Mr Soden added.
The IFA said this reflects cost increases for producers over the past four years.
Mr Soden said farmers have put "several proposals on the table which would give producers more confidence and financial stability, but this seems to have fallen on deaf ears".
He added: "Egg production is a high-risk sector, with the threat of avian flu always in the background. Many free-range producers (who are receiving little to no premium for free range) are weighing up whether the risk is worth it."
