🚨 𝐔𝐒 𝐄𝐠𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐚𝐫 𝐀𝐦𝐢𝐝 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐅𝐥𝐮 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 🚨 Wholesale egg prices in the U.S. have hit 𝐮𝐧𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 as the nation grapples with a severe 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐟𝐥𝐮 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 🐔💥. Here's a breakdown of the situation: 📈 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞: The retail price of a dozen large, Grade A eggs reached 𝐔𝐒𝐃 4.15 in December, marking a sharp rise from previous years. Wholesale prices are now 3 𝐭𝐨 4 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫! 🥚💸 🦠 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞: A highly contagious strain of avian influenza has devastated poultry populations, with over 40 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐠𝐠-𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 2024 alone—about 13% 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥.

The regulatory landscape, including the EUDR and potential tariffs, adds complexity to the 𝐔𝐒 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭.
