Egg prices have spiked in recent years due to avian flu outbreaks and rising feed, fuel, and labor costs, which farmers are passing on to consumers. In just four years, egg prices in the U.S. have surged by 238% climbing to rank #13 in the world, now averaging $4.23 per dozen. That is cheap, though, in comparison to the $7.27/doz. in Switzerland, $6.40/doz. in New Zealand and $6.23/doz. in Iceland. Canadian egg prices rank #30 worldwide at $3.50US per dozen, on average.
