MARKET ANALYSIS: EGG PRICE VOLATILITY

HPAI (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza)

Outbreaks since 2022 have necessitated the culling of over 100 million birds in the U.S., severely constricting laying hen inventory. Regional supply shocks continue to impact national pricing structures.

Input Costs: Feed & Energy

Corn and soybean meal futures rose sharply post-2021. Coupled with persistent energy inflation, operational overhead for producers remains elevated, directly influencing retail shelf prices.

Supply Chain Consolidation

A concentrated producer landscape amplifies the price effect of supply disruptions. Additionally, legislative shifts such as California's Proposition 12 have accelerated the transition to cage-free systems, increasing baseline production costs nationwide.

Production Lag & Recovery

The biological lag to replenish flocks is 5–6 months from chick to laying maturity. This inelastic supply response prevents rapid market corrections, sustaining elevated price levels for extended durations following a shock.
