# High and volatile egg prices impact markets and industry business models - Poultry News

> Rabobank reports egg prices reached record highs globally in 2023 with high volatility, supply disruptions and empty shelves in some markets. Prices in the US have dropped significantly as consumer demand fell while cage-free transition kept capacity high and avian flu cases dropped. Global prices are expected to stay relatively high through 2023 and into 2024.
