Wholesale egg prices have ‘plunged.’ Retail prices may follow

Egg prices have been on a rollercoaster ride in recent weeks, with wholesale prices plummeting and offering hope for relief to consumers who have been hit hard by record-high prices at the grocery store. The drop in wholesale prices to $4.83 per dozen marks a significant 44% decline from their peak of $8.58 per dozen on Feb. 28, according to Expana, a tracker of agricultural commodity prices.

The decrease in prices can be attributed to a combination of factors, including a decrease in major bird flu outbreaks in March and weaker consumer demand, which have allowed the nation’s egg supply to start recovering. Karyn Rispoli, an egg market analyst at Expana, described the price drop as a “plunge,” with market dynamics putting “extreme pressure” on wholesale prices to fall even further.

Consumers have been feeling the impact of these price fluctuations, with the average price of a dozen large grade-A eggs reaching a record high of $5.90 in February, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This surge in prices was a result of the bird flu outbreak in the U.S., which led to the deaths of millions of egg-laying chickens and disrupted egg supply. The U.S. Department of Justice even opened an antitrust investigation into the pricing and supply practices of major egg producers.

However, the situation seems to be improving as bird flu outbreaks have slowed down in March. This has led to improved supply availability and sharp declines in wholesale market prices over the past week, according to the USDA. Consumers have also been buying fewer eggs due to high prices and purchase restrictions imposed by grocers, further easing supply shortfalls.

Despite these positive developments, consumers may still be feeling the impact of peak market prices when purchasing eggs. Retail prices typically lag behind wholesale costs by at least two to three weeks, meaning that consumers may not see immediate relief at the grocery store. Additionally, the upcoming Easter holiday is expected to keep demand for eggs high, potentially leading to continued variability in egg prices in the short term.

Overall, while there are signs of improvement in the egg market, it remains to be seen how quickly and to what extent consumers will experience relief from high prices. Retailers play a key role in determining how closely they track wholesale prices and adjust their own pricing accordingly. With uncertainties still looming, consumers may need to exercise patience as the egg market continues to stabilize.
