High egg prices are expected to rise 40% more in 2025. No scrambled eggs for you!

If you're a consumer who was hoping the price of eggs would come back down to Earth soon, you may want to avert your eyes.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture released a report Tuesday in which the agency predicts egg prices will increase by 41.1% in 2025, with a 3.4% increase for the prices of all food also forecasted.

According to the USDA, retail egg prices increased by 13.8% in January 2025 after rising by 8.4% in December 2024.

"Retail egg prices continue to experience volatile month-to-month changes due to an outbreak of HPAI that began in 2022," the department said in the report. "HPAI contributes to elevated egg prices by reducing egg-layer flocks and egg production."


The agency said over 18 million commercial egg layers were affected by the bird flu in January 2025, which represents the "highest monthly total since the outbreak began in 2022," fueling an egg price increase of 53% from January 2024 to January 2025.
 
Why is Trump not importing eggs to stop the shortage and stop the high prices?
It's just like when there was a shortage of baby formula and the MAGATs cried for imports so the chillen's wouldn't die from want.
 
But we were promised they would come down.
If the bird flu plague is real it wont go away soon and egg prices may not come down

File that along with your disappointment over the Tooth Fairy

I never believed the tooth fairy that pretended he was the answer to the problem.

Libs are the only ones who believe trump walks on water

I never expected egg prices to go down overnight
 
It's all fun-n-games till you get ratted out and the inspectors show-up.

Baked goods use powdered eggs which can be scoured from overseas.
We use fresh eggs and who would rat us out? We be country folk, not city slickers.
 
If you wish to put it that way its ok with me

Trump has a lot of confidence in himself

And he usually turns out to be correct

Now you are doing the lying for him.
 
Biden killed off hundreds of millions of chickens. Egg prices won't be dropping for at least a year.
I dont know if they all had bird flu

Maybe the Big Guy should have if the bird flu pandemic is real

I’m not in a position to know one way or the other

But at least we no longer have a vegetable for a president to deal with the situation

I don't expect we will be murdering any more chickens though, that should help.
