Higher egg prices may extend far into 2025, and egg producers like Cal-Maine could benefit

The article from AOL Finance discusses the ongoing issue of high egg prices in the U.S., which are expected to persist into the summer of 2023.

Despite a slight decrease in egg prices from their peak, they remain much higher than in previous years. The article notes that while the rate of avian flu outbreaks has slowed, the recovery of the egg-laying hen population is slow, suggesting that consumers should not expect immediate relief in egg prices. Additionally, the piece mentions that other factors like increased costs for feed, fuel, and labor are also contributing to the sustained high prices.
