Egg Prices Soar Amid Avian Flu and Holiday Demand

Egg prices have surged due to a combination of avian flu outbreaks and increased holiday demand. The avian flu has significantly reduced the egg supply, killing millions of egg-laying birds, which has led to a 30.4% increase in egg prices compared to last year. The holiday season exacerbates this issue as demand for eggs rises for cooking and baking. Some grocery stores are trying to absorb the cost increases to avoid losing customers, but the overall market is experiencing volatility and higher prices.

Avian Flu Drives Egg Prices Up as Holidays Approach

Egg prices are soaring and production is down as the holiday season approaches, driven by a persistent strain of avian influenza affecting over 73 million egg-laying hens. The USDA reported a significant price increase, with a dozen eggs reaching $4.50 in New York by early November. The outbreak has also impacted turkey supplies, with production down 6% from last year. Calls for emergency vaccine approvals have been made to address the shortages and price volatility.

"Avian Flu Devastates California's 'Egg Basket' and Sends Egg Prices Soaring"

Avian flu outbreaks have devastated poultry farms in California, with nearly a million birds destroyed in Sonoma County and Merced County due to highly pathogenic avian influenza. The virus, spread by migratory birds, has led to a spike in egg prices and economic losses for farmers and workers. Strict biosecurity measures are being implemented, and experts warn about the risk of backyard chickens becoming infected and spreading the disease. The outbreak, exacerbated by climate change, has impacted over 7 million chickens, posing a significant challenge for the commercial poultry industry's recovery.
