"Egg Prices Near Historic Highs as Inflation, Bird Flu, and Weather Impact Easter Traditions"
TL;DR Summary
Egg prices remain near historic highs globally due to avian flu outbreaks, high demand, and rising costs for farmers. Disease, high demand, and inflation have contributed to the elevated prices, with avian flu causing significant poultry deaths worldwide. Factors such as weather, COVID-related disruptions, and the war in Ukraine have also impacted feed prices for farmers. While prices are expected to decrease in the U.S., the holiday demand for eggs will ease heading into summer, and improving biosecurity measures should help mitigate the impact of avian flu.
