This staggering increase is primarily driven by the avian flu outbreak, which has resulted in the culling of approximately 170 million birds, thereby significantly reducing the supply of eggs. Additionally, there is now a new fear emerging in the agricultural sector as bird flu has been detected in cows, raising concerns about further implications for the food supply and prices.
