# HPAI remains crucial to egg pricing | MEAT+POULTRY

> Amy Smith of Advanced Economic Solutions said at the Sosland purchasing seminar that HPAI has been confirmed in all four North American flyways, with about 30 million layers destroyed. She forecast large table egg prices at $2.44 per dozen in Q2, $1.93 in Q3, and $1.95 for the full year, versus $1.21 in 2021.

## Why it matters

Fewer laying hens and falling HPAI detections point to lower egg prices after the spring spike, though the forecast stays well above 2021 levels. Egg flock losses also reduce demand for feed ingredients.
