# USDA Says Farm-level Egg Prices Could Jump Another 45.2% in 2025 Due to Avian Flu - AgWeb

> USDA's January 2025 Food Price Outlook projects that retail egg prices could rise about 20% in 2025, with farm-level prices potentially up 45.2%. Egg prices rose 37% year over year, and the agency expects continued HPAI outbreaks to keep pushing prices higher. Consumer prices in the Bureau of Labor Statistics data were already up 93% from January 2024.

## Why it matters

A government forecast of sustained egg price increases signals persistent HPAI-driven supply losses in layer flocks. This reduces egg-related feed demand but does not move major feed grain prices directly.
