U.S. egg prices increased again last month to reach a new record-high of $6.23 per dozen despite President Donald Trump’s predictions, a drop in wholesale prices and no egg farms having bird flu outbreaks.
Horrible condition factory farming is unfortunately sustainable. The cost to produce eggs has not significantly increased and we’ve only culled ~4% of birds due to BF. On top of that i hear infections are slowing lately. But somehow prices have increased 4-10x, this shows prices are being fixed intentionally by the ~4 major US egg suppliers colluding.
Yes that’s probably capitalism working as intended. 😋
Kartels are illegal, but if they can agree silently on not lowering prices again, I guess there is little anyone can do.
