In great news for Americans and the new administration, egg prices have plummeted over 59% since their peak in February 2025, leaving President Trump’s critics struggling to explain their previous doomsday predictions.

The significant plunge in egg prices has brought temporary relief. Wholesale prices in the U.S. fell by 39% in mid-March, reaching $3.45 per dozen.
These are the lowest prices in nearly five months, considerably down from the peak they hit earlier this year.
Improved supply conditions and easing post-holiday demand are the main contributors to this decline.
A sudden jump had previously driven wholesale figures to $8.17 per dozen, exacerbated by tight supplies and seasonal surges.
At this point, a 57% decrease has followed, relieving many consumers who balked at retail prices that reached $5.90 per dozen in February.
With high egg demand around the Easter holiday, though, prices may yet face volatility.
Conservative voices have called out the inconsistencies in policies that allowed such price surges.
Despite decreased bird flu outbreaks in March—one of the main reasons behind the price hike—concerns of a volatile market persist.
Such outbreaks have historically offset supply availability, as seen when over 111 million birds were affected between February 2022 and January 2025.
“Egg prices, they continue to fall…I think the American people do have great reason to be optimistic about this economy,” stated White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, cited by Newsweek.
This optimism, however, feels lacking in awareness of broader economic challenges—like the ongoing U.S. Department of Justice investigations into the pricing practices of egg producers.
It’s a concern kept under wraps for too long, spurred by consumer frustration at purchase restrictions that have constrained freedom of choice.
The influences of regulatory lag, which takes two to three weeks for adjustments to touch consumers directly, only add to the murky outlook.
The lack of immediate translation from wholesale to retail signals officer intentions beyond market forces.
Retailers exercise discretion over aligning inventory costs with wholesale trends, leading to disconnect in real-world impacts to everyday buyers.
Easter might slow any hikes for now, but analysts anticipate price shifts by 2025, with the USDA forecasting a possible 40% increase.
“Slowing [bird flu] outbreaks are leading to improved supply availability and wholesale market prices have responded with sharp declines over the past week. However, these declines have yet to be reflected at store shelves,” states a USDA report.

Trump’s warnings during the 2024 presidential campaign about the surge in prices seem prescient.
Egg prices had become a sticking point for many voters frustrated with rising food costs.
While current egg price drops offer a desperately needed break for many, long-term uncertainty looms ominously.
American patriots know too well that politically driven narratives can easily veil the truth—something that becomes obvious when prices and government oversight come under review.
