The market for egg products, which has been experiencing wide spread volatility for nearly 3 years, is seeing continued instability. Ongoing HPAI outbreaks in several states, lower flock and production forecasts, along with supply & demand dynamics have led to rising prices in the egg market. This month bulk egg prices rose above $8.30 a dozen delivered to store door, the highest level on record since the USDA started reporting weekly shell egg prices.
Market Factors
Decline in Egg Layers due to HPAI
Lower Flock and Production Output Forecasts
Supply & Demand Dynamics
What This Means for Egg Users
Sufficient inventories are currently available. However, the continuing strain on the market caused by the bird flu has led to spikes in pricing. It is expected that prices will remain high with steady demand through the end of the year and even well into 2026.
