Egg prices jump before Christmas

(CNN) - If you’re going to be baking for Christmas, the price of eggs may catch you off guard.
A carton of a dozen Grade A eggs now costs $3.65 on average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s up from $2.52 at the start of 2024.
Egg prices shot up by 8.2% nationwide in November in part due to holiday-based demand, according to Consumer Price Index data from Dec. 11. The prices are nearly 38% higher than a year ago, the Associated Press reports.
Experts tell The New York Times the avian bird flu is the major cause for price hikes. The outbreak has wiped out flocks of egg-laying hens, causing wholesale prices to rise.
Egg prices are expected to climb even higher in 2025 amid a continued shortage, as predicted by the United States Department of Agriculture.
Grocery stores have also seen prices jump for beef, coffee and non-alcoholic beverages recently.
Average prices are about 20% higher than they were three years ago, according to the Associated Press.

I’ve mentioned it on a few other threads, but I believe middle America is about to spend the next four years very, very confused about why economic reality doesn’t mesh with their expectations.

This is why I farm Emus.
Eat the eggs. Meat of the future. Sell the leather and feathers.
I’m on track to hit the Forbes list any day.

That doesn’t make any sense. Back to the drawing board, lib.

This isn't mathing out. I'm assuming eggs are often a loss leader? How do they increase by almost 350%..

Please explain, in detail, how Trump caused eggs to jump from $37 to $127 during 2023 to 2024. Thank you in advance.

democrats trying to blame Trump shows how retarded they are

The egg industry has a history of pricing collusion - there have been some major lawsuits brought by the DOJ about it. In 2023 the DOJ announced that they would be investigating why egg prices soared in 2022 (remember eggs being like $5 a dozen?). After that announcement wholesale egg prices dropped 50% in a month 
Egg producers are probably betting the next administration won’t investigate any pricing collusion and are price gouging. Doubt it gets better over the next four years.
