Egg prices under pressure: excitement before Easter in Germany!
Gaspoltshofen, Österreich - Egg prices shoot through the ceiling in the USA, and that causes excitement! Currently, consumers have to pay a whopping $ 7.09 for a dozen eggs - a dramatic increase compared to only $ 2.35 in January 2024. These exploding costs are not only a nuisance for the Americans, they also throw dark shadows on the political stage. The pressure is on President Trump, who had promised to combat inflation immediately. But despite numerous decrees, he seems powerless to the persistently high prices, as well as the reports of
The situation is also tense in Germany. Here, egg prices have increased by 38.5 percent since 2020 - a worrying trend that cannot be explained solely by nearby Easter. Hans-Peter Goldnick, President of the Central Association of the German Poultry Economy, reports on a "relatively early demand". Experts suspect that the improved reputation of eggs as high -quality and inexpensive protein source contributes to this increase. Margit Beck from the Agrarmarkt Information Society emphasizes: "Eggs now also have a better image." Despite this development, the industry does not see an immediate bottleneck on the German market, as well as Orf reported. Bird flu is considerably burdened by both the American and the European market. In the United States, almost 41 million laying hens have died in the past four months, which has led to a loss of over three billion eggs. These dramatic numbers ensure that many egg producers in Upper Austria, like Gerold Sterrerm, have difficulty exporting their products to the USA. Sterrerm explains: "We are committed to the Austrian food retail trade that we ensure continuous delivery to eggs." Alexandra Poringer, managing director of a large egg producer, also sees no potential for deliveries abroad because the resources are already bound. Despite the tense situation in eggs in the USA and Germany, there is still hope that the markets are covered enough to protect from a massive bottleneck. Industry experts report that long -term delivery contracts could reduce direct pressure on retail, even if the spot market will actually show price increases. However, Goldnick emphasizes the importance of keeping an eye on domestic production and care: "This is the only way to guarantee that eggs do not become luxury goods from staple foods." bird flu as shadows over the markets
