President Trump referenced a sharp decline in wholesale egg prices, suggesting that his economic policies were effective. However, this drop has not yet translated to significant savings for consumers at grocery stores. As of late March, wholesale prices reduced from $6.55 to $3 per dozen, yet retail prices in February averaged $5.90, still higher than previous months. Additionally, the Agriculture Department anticipates further increases in egg prices by 57.6 percent in 2025, reflecting ongoing issues in the market despite short-term wholesale reductions.
President Trump pointed to a significant 59 percent drop in the wholesale price of eggs, celebrating the economic impact of his tariffs, but consumers still bear higher retail prices.
Despite the dramatic fall in wholesale egg prices since Trump's inauguration, retail prices remain elevated, reflecting a disconnect that could take weeks to resolve between wholesale and consumer costs.
