Best Time to Buy Eggs During a Shortage

When an egg shortage occurs, prices can be unpredictable. However, businesses and consumers can still find strategic buying opportunities. Here’s how:

1. Buy Before Peak Demand Periods

During a shortage, prices surge before major holidays like:

Easter (March/April)
Thanksgiving (November)
Christmas & New Year’s (December)

To avoid paying the highest prices, secure your egg supply well in advance of these peak periods.

2. Purchase in Bulk When Prices Dip

Even during shortages, prices fluctuate based on supply chain improvements and temporary production increases.

Watch market trends and buy in bulk when prices drop, rather than purchasing at the peak.

Consider alternative egg products, such as liquid or powdered eggs, which may be more stable in pricing.

3. Lock in Supplier Contracts

Businesses should consider long-term purchasing agreements with reliable suppliers to avoid price spikes.

A trusted supplier like Eggs Unlimited can help you secure eggs ahead of a potential egg shortage in 2025 and beyond.

4. Diversify Your Supply Chain

During shortages, relying on a single supplier is risky. Work with multiple suppliers to improve availability and cost stability.

Final Tip

If you anticipate an egg shortage in 2025, planning ahead is key. Secure supply before demand surges to avoid overpaying.
