Here’s How Much Egg Prices Have Dropped Under The Trump Administration

The economy has done better under the Trump administration than the Biden administration, or should I say things are going quite eggcellent!

A new USDA report has revealed that eggs prices have decreased dramatically since President Trump has taken back the White House.

In the last year, the price of eggs has skyrocketed due to a bird flu outbreak that killed nearly 170 million chickens.

This forced the United States to import eggs from Brazil, Turkey, and South Korea, which resulted in a price hike.

However, according to the USDA’s latest report, President Trump has lowered the price of eggs nearly 61% since taking office.

Fox Business provided the raw numbers:

The most recent data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows white, large shell eggs are now $2.52 per dozen nationally. On Jan. 21, that same carton of eggs would have run an American about $6.49, according to data website Trading Economics.

Trading Economics shows eggs were over $8 a dozen the first week of March.

“Shell egg demand posted a slight improvement headed into the Memorial Day weekend but remained well below average in the continuation of a trend that began during the sharp price increases in late winter,” the USDA Egg Markets Overview weekly publication said.

Back in April, a study by Clarify Capital said over 30% of Americans had stopped buying eggs due to their exorbitant cost.

Weaker demand and a lull in new cases of bird flu helped cool prices, analysts said at the time.

Despite the lowered egg prices, the White House is preparing to be ready for the next bird flu outbreak.

Here’s their plan:
