An article and interactive graphic: The Whiplash of American Egg Prices
Americans have watched supermarket eggs drop from $6/dozen early last year to $2/dozen this June. The decrease in consumer egg prices has become one of President Trump’s most touted accomplishments.
He doesn’t talk the prices of tomatoes ($2.50/lb), ground beef ($6.75/lb), or coffee ($9.50/lb), all of which recently reached record highs. He also never talks about why egg prices are down. In this article and graphic, I do.
It’s a simple but strange story that sits at the intersection of politics, economics, disease, and foreign trade gone awry.
