USDA Forecasts 2027 Wholesale Egg Prices at 111.3¢/Dozen

USDA ERS's September 2026 Egg Outlook projects NY Grade A large wholesale eggs averaging 106.6 cents/dozen in 2026 and 111.3 cents/dozen in 2027. Table egg production is forecast at 7,851 million dozen for 2026, rising to 8,010 million dozen in 2027, with per-capita disappearance climbing from 269.5 to 274.3 eggs.

Why it matters: USDA's forecast of rising 2027 production (8,010M dozen) alongside higher wholesale prices (111.3¢) signals producers can plan expansion without expecting price collapse.
