Consumers and businesses are seeing an increase in egg prices and an egg shortage at grocery stores.
The egg shortage has resulted in plenty of empty shelves and customers having to shell out more cash for the hard-to-find egg cartons.
According to the food market data company Urner Barry, the average price for eggs was $4.33 per dozen as of Tuesday.
Last year around this time, the price was around $1.33.
