US Egg Prices Plummet Over 40% Amid Supply Recovery, Market Changes

Recent reports indicate a significant decline in egg prices both in Brazil and the U.S. In Brazil, balanced inventory levels have enabled farmers to negotiate prices more effectively, while increased demand due to U.S. supply issues caused by avian flu has opened up export opportunities. In the U.S., former President Trump has claimed egg prices are dropping, attributing this to efforts by the USDA, which has implemented a $1 billion plan to address supply disruptions caused by bird flu. Wholesale egg prices have reportedly dropped nearly 50% since late last year, with a USDA analysis showing prices falling over 40% since February due to improved supply and reduced demand. However, the long-term impact on consumer prices remains uncertain as the market continues to stabilize. Both markets are closely monitored as political discussions and international demand shape future pricing trends.
