Egg Prices Plummet in Time for Easter, But Farmers Struggle
Egg prices in the U.S. have dropped significantly, with a dozen now costing around $2.50, down from last years record high of $6.23. This price drop is due to a decrease in bird flu cases, allowing farmers to rebuild their flocks. However, farmers are still selling eggs at or below production costs, and wholesale prices have dipped to $1.17. The Trump administration imported nearly one billion eggs last year to ease shortages, and flocks are now rebounding with eight percent more laying hens than last year. Despite lower prices, farmers are still facing challenges due to potential increases in feed costs and the lingering threat of bird flu.
