The Trump administration’s mishandling of the avian flu outbreak is raising prices for businesses and families across the nation. As the outbreak spread, inadequate response measures allowed the virus to flourish, leading to significant losses in poultry production. This has created a ripple effect in the market, causing egg prices to skyrocket.
Farmers are struggling to maintain their flocks, with many forced to cull infected birds to prevent further contamination. This drastic action has led to a sharp decline in egg supply, which in turn has driven prices to unprecedented levels. Consumers are feeling the pinch as grocery bills rise, impacting household budgets and forcing families to adjust their spending habits.
Experts warn that without effective intervention and support for the poultry industry, the situation could worsen. As prices continue to climb, the economic burden on both producers and consumers is becoming increasingly unsustainable, raising concerns about food security and access to essential goods.
