Egg Prices Skyrocket
USDA’s Economic Research Service indicates table egg production continues to
be lower. Wholesale egg prices are forecast to average $1.50
to $1.56 per dozen in first-quarter 2008, up over 40 percent from the previous
year. USDA says that table-egg flock numbers are down from a year earlier and
table-egg production is forecast to be slightly lower in the first-half 2008,
compared with a year earlier. Table-egg production is expected to rise slightly
in second-half 2008.
