THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE IS PREDICTING A MASSIVE JUMP IN EGG PRICES THIS YEAR.
IN AN UPDATED PROJECTION RELEASED THIS WEEK, THE AGENCY SAID EGG PRICES COULD INCREASE 41-PERCENT IN 2025.
THIS COMES AS A BIRD FLU OUTBREAK IN IOWA AND OTHER STATES HAS CAUSED A NATIONWIDE SHORTAGE.
THE LATEST PROJECTION IS MORE THAN DOUBLE WHAT THE USDA PREDICTED FOR THIS YEAR LAST MONTH.
THE AVERAGE PRICE FOR A DOZEN EGGS HIT A RECORD HIGH OF FOUR-DOLLARS-AND-95-CENTS LAST MONTH, BUT SOME SHOPPERS ARE ALREADY HAVING TO PAY TEN DOLLARS OR MORE.
The post EGG PRICES EXPECTED TO KEEP RISING appeared first on KSCJ 1360.
