It looks like food shortages have continued into 2022. This is what might be causing the issue. After some signs of a slow and cautious return to pre-pandemic normalcy last year, the beginning of 2022 is looking remarkably like fall 2020—and that means supply issues at grocery stores.
Unfortunately, Americans might face another shortage in the next few weeks—a chicken shortage. Below we’ll take a look at why Americans might have trouble finding certain cuts of meat, beef, and even eggs. People might have to spend more money to get the items that they want.
Fast forward to April 2022 and there are concerns about a severe shortage of chicken and eggs. The fears are driven by the rise in bird flu cases. Will bird flu cause a chicken shortage in the U.S. in 2022?
It estimates that U.S. poultry prices could rise by 7.5 percent–8.5 percent in 2022, while egg prices would rise by 6 percent–7 percent. The expected rise in chicken prices is the highest among food categories and only fats and oil prices are expected to rise higher.
