Problems caused by the epidemic eventually begin to weaken against the background of restoring the number of chickens on US farms, analysts say.
Retail prices for eggs in the United States in March reached a new “record”. However, analysts see encouraging trends about improving this problem. This was reported by the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal On Thursday, April 10.
Eggs this month climb 5.9% compared to February, when prices increase for them exceeds 10%. Compared to March 2024, the retail price for eggs rose 1.6 times.
In March, the price of a package of 12 large eggs in the first time exceeded $ 6 and an average of 6.23 dollars. However, the increase in price march is less significant than in January and February: more than two months, the packaging of the eggs has risen by more than $ 0.8.
Meanwhile, wholesale prices for eggs are reduced. In March, the average wholesale price of a dozen eggs dropped to $ 3 from a record high of February.
The sharp rising price of eggs in the United States is due to the outbreak of the bird flu, due to which millions of chickens have been destroyed in the country.
Expana’s analyst Ryan Khoynovsky records that the problems caused by the epidemic are beginning to weaken as farmers return the number of animals.
Despite the fact that during the Easter celebration, demand for eggs is traditionally growing, Khoynovsky believes that because of this year’s high price, Americans will paint less natural eggs, prefers artificially.
Easter for Catholics and Orthodox in 2025 fell in a day – April 20.

Earlier, agrarian policy minister Trump Brook Rollins suggested his own options for fighting egg deficiency. In particular, he advised the population to cope with himself and grow chickens.
