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.

Despite the price decreases, the USDA and economists like Bernt Nelson suggest prices remain historically high, though supply is improving.

Fact-checking Trump’s claim about egg prices.

President Trump, as he announced sweeping tariffs, batted away “very tired predictions” from critics of his economic agenda by citing a large decline in the price of eggs. “The price of eggs dropped now 59 percent, and they’re going down more and the availability is fantastic,” Mr. Trump said on Wednesday.
