US Egg Shortage Could Get Worse as Holiday Season Approaches

The U.S. egg shortage is expected to worsen as the holiday season approaches and may continue into 2025.

Egg production dropped by 2.6% in September and 1.6% in August due to bird flu outbreaks in several states, which led to the loss of millions of birds.

The USDA has adjusted its fourth-quarter production forecast down to 1.98 million dozen eggs.

Factors contributing to the shortage include smaller flocks, high feed costs, and a lower egg production rate per hen.

Egg prices have risen significantly, with wholesale prices up by $1.84 from last year, Newsweek has reported.
