Agriculture Secretary Rollins says price of dozen eggs has dropped $1.85 in roughly past 13 days

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Tuesday the price of eggs has decreased across the U.S. as a result of the Trump administration's efforts over roughly the past two weeks. 

"The average cost of a dozen eggs has now gone down $1.85 since we announced our plan about a week and a half ago on February 26," Rollins said in a video posted by the official rapid response X account for the White House.

However, she did warn that egg prices would increase around Easter.

"So listen, we're going into Easter season," Rollins said, according to the Newsweek outlet. "This is always the highest price for eggs. We expect it to perhaps inch back up, but a good piece of news since we released our plan about a week and a half ago."

Egg prices typically surge around Easter due to the holidays, The Associated Press reports.

Last month, Rollins unveiled the Trump administration's plan to lower the cost of eggs in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.

"This five-point strategy won’t erase the problem overnight, but we’re confident that it will restore stability to the egg market over the next three to six months," she said. "This approach will also ensure stability over the next four years and beyond."

The household commodity has witnessed a surge in prices over the past several months amid an avian flu surge and partially due to inflation.
