US EditionHow Central Virginia farmers are turning the egg shortage into opportunity
- Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins credited decreases in wholesale egg costs since February to Donald Trump's plan during a Fox Business interview on Wednesday, though she did not give specific details about the plan.
- Rollins's statement comes amid a context of avian flu outbreaks impacting poultry production and decreased consumer demand due to high costs, both factors contributing to fluctuating egg prices.
- The USDA had predicted significant increases in egg prices this year, but wholesale prices have decreased 53% since the USDA released a five-point plan to address the issue, according to Rollins.
- Rollins stated that during President Trump's reelection campaign, his top two issues were border security and the cost of groceries and food inflation, and she accused the media of ignoring rising egg prices during the Biden administration, claiming, "The prices of eggs under the four years of Joe Biden increased 237 percent & and yet it wasnt covered in the press at all."
- Rollins has vowed to roll back state cage-free laws, which some critics argue may prioritize corporate interests over lowering egg prices or protecting against risks such as the spread of avian flu, while cage-free advocates claim that confined conditions in concentrated animal feeding operations can incubate diseases such as avian flu.
