Just two weeks ago, on Feb. 28, the average wholesale price was $8.05 per dozen.
The combination of prices scaring off customers, slowed bird flu outbreaks and a later Easter this year is resulting in less demand.
"Demand for shell eggs declined sharply over the past week as resistance to current shell egg prices grows across all sectors," the USDA report stated. "Slowing [highly pathogenic avian influenza] outbreaks are leading to improved supply availability and wholesale market prices have responded with sharp declines over the past week."
"However, these declines have yet to be reflected at store shelves and, until they are, demand is expected to remain dampened," the USDA added.
Trump touted the decrease during an unrelated press event on Friday.
"By the way, price of eggs is down 35% in the last week and a half. We're doing a good job," he said.

BiZiden’s fault?
No worries. Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro just ordered all chicken flocks destroyed in order to control bird flu. That was on Thursday last.
More eggs, from more chickens is UN-democratic,
Chickens are racist and fascist and Nazis.
Amazing.
Now if only they hadn’t killed all of those chickens.
They had to kill the chickens in order to save them. /s
They were fools to do so.
Cooking to 160 degrees destroys the virus in both...eggs and chickens..
I can hear the democrats screams from here. “OH NO! Egg prices are FALLING! Farmers are going to go bankrupt! And it is ALL TRUMP’S FAULT!”
Why buy the shells when you are just going to toss them?
I bought extra ggs two weeks ago...still have 2 dozen left.
Also finally began to notice that Egglands best has more vitamins because of what the chickens are fed. Think I'm gonna get Egglands from here on in...a few pennies more..but that's ok.
That is hilarious.
Keeping that one.
Reminds me of the horrid âCovidâ rules.
Prices are down, you just can’t see it!

Just had a 5 egg mushroom, sausage, asparagus and onion omelet
