The ongoing egg shortage has reversed pricing norms in New York, where conventional eggs are often more expensive than organic varieties. A dozen regular eggs from Morton Williams is priced at $10.59, contrasting sharply with $5.59 for Land O Lakes organic eggs. This pricing anomaly is driven by organic farms maintaining lower prices due to existing contracts, which are soon set to expire, potentially increasing their prices significantly. The avian flu outbreak has led to the culling of millions of hens, impacting supply and creating market instability for egg prices for the foreseeable future.
