The price of eggs went up 49.1% from December 2021 to November 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
It’s due to a combination of factors including a deadly avian flu going around , high demand, and increased production costs for farmers.
“The best projections right now from USDA is that egg prices will be down by 50 percent or 75 percent at the wholesale level early this year, this spring or summer,” said Daniel Sumner, a professor of agricultural economics at the University of California Davis. “Within the system we have to build. Now, fortunately, if this were beef cattle, it takes years and years to grow a cow. It takes weeks and weeks to grow a hen,” said Sumner.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says many items can be used in place of eggs, depending on the situation.
