Egg prices have seen significant volatility, dropping over 40% recently, driven by a combination of factors including changes in demand, ongoing avian influenza impacts, and fluctuating production costs. As the market continues to evolve, record prices have led to federal lawsuits against major egg producers. Despite a sharp drop in prices just before Easter, moderate demand has led to price increases in certain categories, particularly for larger sizes. Recent USDA reports highlight ongoing changes in the egg market, with mixed trends noted in production and inventory levels.
