# Egg prices fall as supplies rebound - AgriLife Today

> Retail eggs averaged $2.50 per dozen in the latest CPI report, down 58% from a year ago and the lowest since late 2023, as U.S. laying flocks recover from avian influenza losses. Wholesale Grade A prices fell from above $8 to below $1 per dozen earlier this year before ticking up ahead of Easter demand.

## Why it matters

Rebuilt layer flocks mean more supply, so wholesale egg prices stay well below last year's levels, though Easter demand and any new HPAI outbreaks could cause short-term rebounds.
