National average wholesale price of eggs drops for 3rd week in a row

The national average wholesale price of eggs dropped for the third week in a row, as high prices caused falling demand and bird flu outbreaks hit a lull, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The average wholesale price fell to $4.15 per dozen last week, down by $2.70, according to a weekly USDA report released on Friday. Just two weeks ago, on Feb. 28, the average wholesale price was $8.05 per dozen.

Eggscellent News: Egg Prices Are Falling

After months of soaring costs, the price of large white shell eggs fell 15 percent in early March, bringing relief to consumers who have been scrambling to adjust their inflation-shellacked grocery budgets. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the average price for a dozen eggs dropped to $6.85 last week, down $1.20 from the end of February. The decline comes as supply constraints ease, with the USDA reporting no significant outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)—aka, Bird Flu—in nearly two weeks. The disease has been a major driver of egg shortages, forcing farmers to cull millions of hens and sending prices soaring over the past year.
