Egg prices in the US at record levels, including 41 % in Slovenia

In March 2025, eggs in the US climbed record -breaking. The average price of a dozen eggs reached $ 6.22, which represents a 22 % increase compared to January of the same year. Compared to the year before, the price increased by 60.4 percent. Growth is due to a combination of inflation and Lack of eggs due to an outbreak of bird fluwho forced the farmers to kill millions of non -tailings, reducing the market offer.

According to the Statistical Office of Eggs in 2025, they are also 41 percent more expensive in Slovenia than in 2020. The Konzumn eggs were rolling around 1.4 million laying hens, which together amounted to an average of 900,000 eggs per day. Last year, ten eggs had to be deducted on average $ 2.38.

An increase in egg prices is not a new phenomenon, as prices have fluctuated sharply in the last four years, mainly due to the impact of bird flu and inflation. For example, January 2023, during Presidency Joe’s Bidnthe average price of a dozen eggs was 4.82 dollars. By the end of his term, the price fell to $ 3.65, but under the new president Donaldom Trump, which promised to reduce prices, the average price again raised.

In 2020, during the first term of Donald Trump, the average price of a dozen eggs was only 1.50 dollars. This dramatic increase in prices is especially noticeable in countries with more strict regulations and in those where bird flu has most affected the poultry farm. For example, in California, where all eggs on the free -range store shelves, it costs a dozen eggs as much as $ 13.49. In Pennsylvania, where more than two million birds were infected with the disease, it costs a dozen eggs $ 6.40.

Local residents across the country have expressed their dissatisfaction on social networks due to high egg prices. Valerie Wilder She announced from Alabama on Facebook that the price for a dozen eggs increased from $ 3.82 to $ 6.82 in two weeks. It is similar to Gregg witter Massachusetts reported that the price of eggs in his local store reached $ 7.49.

An increase in egg prices has become a symbol of broader economic problems facing the US. People across the country wonder when prices will stabilize, but current forecasts do not indicate a quick improvement. The US Ministry of Agriculture (USDA) predicts that egg prices will continue to rise until the number of bird flu cases decreases and farmers can resume repopulating their flocks.

Despite the efforts of the USD and farmers to manage the situation, the high egg prices appear to be a reality for some time.
