Price of eggs roundup - Those lower egg prices may be from imported Russian eggs

For the first time since 1992, the United States imported nearly half-a-million dollars worth of eggs from Russia this year.

This news was first reported by Russian news agencies but was confirmed by data released by the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service on Sept. 4, which indicates that eggs worth $455,000 were imported from Russia in July 2025, the largest such shipment from that country into the U.S. since at least 1970.

Since taking office, the Trump Administration has taken a two-pronged approach in attempt to bring the price of eggs down for American consumers. The first is a strategy to combat avian flu, while the other is to import more eggs from other countries.

Although egg prices have decreased since their peak price in March, retail egg prices in July 2025 were still 16.4 percent higher than in July 2024, according to the Consumer Price Index for Food. The USDA Economic Research Service forecasts that egg prices are predicted to increase 24.4 percent in 2025.
