An increasing number of people are trying to bring cheaper eggs back from Mexico, as the grocery staple is now 70 percent more expensive than it was last year.
Border patrol agents have reported an increase in the number of people attempting to transport eggs across the border from Mexico, as the price of the grocery staple remains well above what Americans have gotten used to in recent years.by the U.S. Custom and Border Protection , the San Diego Field Office has reported that the number of seizures at the border involving eggs rose by 397.54 percent between January 11, 2022, and January 31, 2023, and the same period a year earlier.
"We are seeing an increase in people attempting to cross eggs from Juarez to El Paso because they are significantly less expensive in Mexico than the U.S.," a CBP spokesperson told."This is also occurring with added frequency at other southwest border locations as well." The flu, combined with the rising costs of feed, transport and packaging that followed the COVID pandemic, has contributed to inflating the price of eggs across the country, which in December 2022 reached a record high. By the end of last year, Americans were paying an average of $4.25 for a dozen large Grade A eggs.
