Egg Prices Expected To Ease In 2016

Egg supply and production are expected to return to normal levels in 2016 after an avian flu breakout in 2015, Nation’s Restaurant News reports. The USDA forecasts an average price for large eggs of $1.66 per dozen in 2016, down from $1.84 per dozen in 2015. 

“As the supply of egg products continues to recover, there will be ample availability for use in the food industry,” says John Howeth, executive vice president, American Egg Board, said in a press release. “And barring any further incidents, we expect supply and pricing to regain their previous consistency.”
