I'm perplex are the prices regulated? Why don't the farmers refuse to sell the eggs unless they are sold at a profit?
Supermarkets tell you what they will pay.
Take it or leave it.
The supermarkets themselves operate on about 6% gross margin.

In the states farmers are able to sell direct to consumer, so when the grocery store don't buy the product the local community generally does especially if the item is hard to get at the supermarket
