Why Egg Prices Have Risen
Egg prices have increased due to highly pathogenic avian influenza, which reduced flock sizes, and higher costs for feed, labor, and transportation. These factors tightened supply in many regions.
Will Egg Prices Go Back Down
Prices may decline as flocks recover, production normalizes, and feed costs stabilize. However, timing depends on disease control, seasonal demand, and broader inflation trends.
What Consumers Can Do Now
To manage costs, buy in bulk when prices dip, compare unit prices across stores, and consider store brands or alternative proteins. Tracking wholesale price reports can help spot future drops.
