It shouldn’t, but this cracks me up.
USDA looks at boosting egg imports in $1 billion plan to lower prices and combat bird flu https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/02/26/egg-prices-usda-imports-bird-flu/80490601007/
@WarnerCrocker My first question is how much is egg production down. I've read 2-3% but not verified. The egg business in the US is a cartel that reacts to threats of anti-monopoly government action, which won't happen. So we don't know how much egg price increases are due to lower production vs. cartel price manipulation.
@paulc I imagine like any product situation it is a combination of both.
@WarnerCrocker I agree both but how much due to each. The egg cartel has jacked up prices blaming them on bird flu and production was up even with fewer birds.
