(DCWatchdog.com) – In a positive twist for American households, egg prices nationwide have finally seen a break, plummeting by nearly two dollars per dozen since February 2025.

This sharp decline hails from pivotal improvements in the egg industry’s landscape, driven by developments engineered under the Trump administration’s policies.
Egg prices peaked amid the last presidential election, but have now begun to decrease significantly.
Once reaching an all-time high as reported by Trading Economics, prices were dauntingly high due to avian flu and inflation pressures.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture confirms this positive trend, citing the national average price drop of a dozen eggs from an overwhelming $8.17 to a more reasonable $5.51.
This drop is attributed to a recovery within the industry from earlier adversities like avian flu, which initially disrupted poultry stocks.
A scramble to control a viral outbreak affecting more than 111 million birds saw egg prices soar, compounded by issues such as transportation costs and animal welfare regulations.
President Trump had earlier acknowledged the difficulty in reducing these prices: “hard to bring things down once they’re up,” cited by Newsweek.
Recently, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported falling prices in New York and across the country.
With noteworthy actions taken to slow the spread of the bird flu, a decline in demand has further calmed the spiraling prices.
Jeremy Horpedahl, an economic thinker, attests to a perceptible decline in wholesale rates, indicating stabilization of the market.
The Trump administration’s biosafety strategy for the H5N1 bird flu deserves applause for playing a pivotal role in pulling down prices by almost $2.
U.S Department of Agriculture Head Brooke Rollins promises to reinforce this progress, initiating a billion-dollar move to lower costs and bolster biosecurity.
Rollins explains that although Easter may temporarily hike prices, the framework is effective: “This is always the highest price for eggs,” cited by The Washington Examiner.
The strategy extends to importing eggs, subsidizing biosecurity, and researching preventive vaccines.
Eggs now average $6.08, a stark fall from over $8 previously, tangible proof of the administration’s strategic foresight.
Prices remain on the watch as consumers hope for prolonged relief.
While seasonal demand may cause subtle fluctuations, the Trump administration’s decisive actions stand as a testament to their commitment to addressing one of the nation’s most persistent problems.
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins reports the average price for a dozen eggs is down $1.85 heading into Easter season.
