Egg prices are falling. But there’s a catch
- Egg prices fell after reaching a ten-year high in February due to several factors.
- Avian influenza outbreaks, which led to the culling of 30 million egg-laying birds, caused the initial price surge.
- Wholesale egg prices dropped to $3.00 a dozen, a 9% decrease, as avian flu cases decreased and supply improved.
- Stew Leonard, Jr. Noted eggs retailed for $5.99, down from $10 in December, adding, "We got plenty of eggs coming in."
- Despite the price decreases, the USDA and economists like Bernt Nelson suggest prices remain historically high, though supply is improving.
