Egg Prices and Production Movements Signal Price Shifts
Economists note a 1 percent rise in egg supply often lowers prices by about 1.6 cents per dozen from 40 cents. Demand declines would further cut prices. Over the past decade civilian consumption generally fell, with production changes rarely exceeding 1 percent yearly. Prices tended to fall when supply rose, though other factors like exports, hatchings, and stock levels also influenced costs. If January flock size grows 2 to 3 percent, prices could be 10 to 15 percent below last year, weather adding further volatility.
