Why price of eggs skyrocketed?
I live and shop in the Chicago near suburbs, and for some reason eggs
have suddenly gone up about 50% in about 10 days. I was shopping in an Aldi discount supermarket today and noticed that the price of a dozen large eggs was $1.35. Two weeks ago the same eggs were 95 cents a dozen. And last week a large drug chain had large eggs at 79 cents a dozen (admittedly a sale price). As I continued shopping I found that large eggs ranged from $1.35 to $1.69 at the several stores I visited. Even Sam's Club, which is pretty competitive had large eggs at $2.54 for a dozen-and-a-half, or $1.69 a dozen. Does anyone know the reason? -Len |
Why price of eggs skyrocketed?
I noticed the same thing recently and one person at the grocery said it was
supply and demand. She seemed to think that for whatever reason there were less eggs produced. I observed that it is sort of funny how we can spend several dollars on some food item or items we don't even really need but we notice if the price of eggs goes up 30 cents.

Ok, I'll top post since you did. :-)
Winter, the hens "moult" and egg production goes down. I have an organic egg customer that is none to pleased right now as I've been unable to supply him now for the past month. Oh well!

As more farmers go out of business, the price is most certainly going to go
up to make up for the difference.

The eggs, in turn, also have to be trucked. The price of tomatoes has also doubled, and there are no more imports in the store than there was when they were "in season".

Pretty much. I'm still astounded by what people pay in Hawaii, but then consider the cost of freight. > Wow, I'm really amazed at > how expensive the milk is!! New Zealand is a dairying nation. One of the biggest dairy companies in the world is based here. We pay the same prices for milk as the export market does.

ADM has a history of price fixing to keep feed prices artificially high. They've been busted by the feds and fined plus some execs had to go do time at "Club Fed" penitentiary. Cargill controls the majority of producsers in both the chicken insustry and the poultry/livestock feed industry in Honduras. BTW, check out the websites for Cargill and ADM to see how they are vertically integrated and control everything from the financial institutions that loan money to farmers on up to grain storage, transportation, and production facilities. They even own utilities in some areas. It's rather enlightening. Sandi |
