Despite the expectations of decline … the high prices of eggs in America to a record level

Egg prices in the United States rose again last month to reach a new standard of $ 6. 23 for twelve eggs, despite President Donald Trump’s expectations for wholesale prices, and the lack of bird influenza in egg farms.
The recent increase announced on Thursday in the consumer price index indicates that consumers and egg -based companies may not get much immediate comfort. The demand for it is usually high even after Easter, which comes on April 20.

Egg prices

Industrial experts expected the index to reflect a decrease in the fact that wholesale egg prices decreased dramatically in March.
Agricultural economic expert at Arkansas Jada Thompson said that wholesale prices did not begin to decrease until mid -March, so there was not enough time for a decrease in the average price of the month. Grocery stores may not have passed the low prices immediately.

Bird flu

It was cited with bird influenza spread as the main cause of prices in January and February after the execution of more than 30 million chickens with an egg to prevent the spread of the disease. Only 2.1 million birds were executed in March, and none of them were on the egg farms.
The prices of eggs reached 5.90 dollars in February one month after record a record price of $ 4.95 for twelve eggs, according to the American Labor Statistics Office.
