The April 2020 edition of the USDA Poultry Production and Value Report documented the volume and value of eggs produced over the period December 1st 2018 through November 30th 2019.  For the period, 9.44 billion dozen were produced valued at $7.70 billion.  Although production was 2.9 percent higher in 2019 compared to 2018, value was 29 percent lower due to  the difference in average price during 2018 ($1.16 per dozen) compared to 2019 ($0.86 per dozen). Low prices prevailed through eight months of 2019.
