2026年初,由于禽流感恢复供应,鸡蛋价格跌至2.58美元,使销售低于成本的农民蒙受损失。 Egg prices dropped to $2.58/dozen in early 2026 as supply recovered from avian flu, hurting farmers with below-cost sales.

美国的鸡蛋价格从2025年3月的6.23美元峰值下降到2026年初的2.58美元/12美元,据劳工统计局称,2025年3月的峰值为6.23美元,因为去年禽流感爆发后鸡蛋供应回升,导致7 000万母鸡死亡。 Egg prices in the U.S. have fallen to $2.58 per dozen in early 2026, down from a peak of $6.23 in March 2025, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as egg supply rebounds after last year’s avian flu outbreak killed 70 million hens. 虽然消费者受益,但农民面临损失,批发价格为92美分,低于平均生产成本1.05美元,原因是重建的牲畜供过于求。 While consumers benefit, farmers face losses, with wholesale prices at 92 cents—below the $1.05 average production cost—due to oversupply from rebuilt flocks. 一些生产商,包括没有鸟类死亡的生产商,售价低于成本,引起人们对长期可持续性和可能关闭农场的关切。 Some producers, including those with no bird deaths, are selling below cost, raising concerns about long-term sustainability and potential farm closures. 需求仍然疲软,可能是由于消费习惯的改变,禽流感疫苗正在研制之中,但面临贸易限制。 Demand remains weak, possibly due to changed consumer habits, and a vaccine for avian flu is under development but faces trade restrictions.
