It's 2025 and breakfast food prices continue to soar

Published On Jan 13, 2025, 6:00 AM

Breakfast food prices are witnessing significant increases due to various factors. While overall inflation has decreased, specific breakfast staples like eggs, coffee, orange juice, and beef continue to rise sharply as consumers face higher prices. The price of eggs surged 8.2% in November 2024, largely due to avian flu that impacted supply. Coffee prices rose 11% due to droughts affecting production in Brazil and Colombia. Orange juice prices are driven by citrus greening disease and extreme weather. Beef prices have also climbed, as high feed costs and drought affect ranchers. These rising costs reflect long-term trends in the agricultural supply chain, suggesting continued pressure on breakfast staples well into 2025.
