Egg prices are soaring globally due to a combination of factors, including avian flu outbreaks, high demand, and rising costs for farmers.

While prices are lower than last year, they remain elevated... though they are not expected to return to 2021 levels.

The U.S. saw a significant increase in egg prices, with the average price of a dozen eggs at $2.99 in February.

Avian flu outbreaks have impacted poultry farms worldwide, leading to supply shortages and price hikes.

Despite the challenges, experts anticipate that egg prices will eventually stabilize, providing relief to consumers and farmers alike.
