“We hear from people that the carton companies are struggling to make deliveries,” Rispoli said. Everything is getting more expensive because everything else is, including when it comes to eggs. In a nutshell (or, for our purposes, an eggshell), it’s a cycle. “Everybody’s raising their prices on everything, from cartons to corrugated boxes to the plastic wrap that goes around the eggs” Moscogiuri estimates that freight up 30 to 40 percent can translate into an extra 10 cents a dozen. Trucks to get the eggs from point A to point B are more expensive, as is fuel (likely becoming even more so now, thanks to the Russian invasion in Ukraine and subsequent sanctions). Increased freight costs are contributing to higher prices as well. “It’s been transitioned toward robotics, and a lot of the time, an egg makes its way into a carton without being touched by a human,” he said. Most egg farms are vertically integrated, explained Brian Moscogiuri, a global trade strategist at Eggs Unlimited, and the production process is pretty seamless. Increased labor costs are also a factor, though less so for eggs than, say, for beef or chicken, because of automation. “A lot of that is corn and soybean meal, which has been going up pretty dramatically, but we also use a lot of different amino acids and vitamins.” “The cost of an egg is about 60 to 70 percent feed, and the cost of our feed has gone up 30 to 50 percent, depending on the mix, since the end of 2020,” he said. Sam Krouse, vice president of business development at MPS Egg Farms, which is headquartered in Indiana, told me that input and production prices for his operation are up “pretty dramatically” at the moment. Egg prices depend in part on the chickens that lay the eggs - and currently, they’re more expensive to feed. The cause of the egg price increases we’re experiencing now is more of a production issue than a demand one, though both are in the mix. “You don’t think about how pervasive it is.” It’s expensive to feed chickens “Eggs are also an ingredient,” said Karyn Rispoli, who covers the egg market for Urner Barry. Because eggs are in so many food items, you can see how all of this could push prices up on other things, too.

Cook for about one minute longer and they are done! Remove from heat and enjoy.Twice a month, Emily Stewart’s column exposes the ways we’re all being squeezed under capitalism. Step 8: Wait another minute then flip eggs upside down to make sure they are evenly cooked. Step 7: After another minute, stir ONE time, then add shredded cheese.
