USA: Table egg prices reach new record highs
24 December, 2024
Demand for shell eggs has strengthened as we approach the holiday week, with consumers finalizing their preparations. Concerns regarding tight supplies, stemming from persistent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in layer flocks, are driving wholesale prices to near-record levels.
Eggs increased 3.38 USD/DOZEN or 154.34% since the beginning of 2024, according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity. Historically, Eggs US reached an all time high of 5.57 in December of 2024.
