Egg Prices Set to Soar in 2025 Amid Avian Flu Outbreaks and Inflation

By

Egg prices in the United States are projected to climb sharply in 2025, with an anticipated 20% increase, according to a report by CNN. 

The spike is attributed to ongoing avian flu outbreaks and the continued impact of inflation on the agricultural sector.

This forecasted rise in egg prices is notably higher than the estimated 2.2% increase in overall food costs, signaling the significant strain facing the egg industry. 

Wholesale egg prices are already ranging between $6.84 and $8.35 per dozen, reflecting the combined pressures of disease related supply disruptions and elevated production expenses.

The avian flu outbreaks have decimated poultry populations, reducing egg supplies and pushing prices upward. 

Inflation has further compounded the issue, driving up the costs of feed, transportation, and labor. Together, these factors have created a perfect storm for escalating prices.

The situation underscores the vulnerability of food supply chains to both biological and economic challenges. 

Consumers may feel the pinch at grocery stores in the coming months, as the price of this kitchen staple continues to climb.
