Demand, prices for local eggs skyrocket amid nationwide avian flu outbreak

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The hunt for eggs continues with an ongoing shortage in Hawaii caused by a nationwide bird flu outbreak.
With demand comes price increases. A new report from the Hawaii Department of Agriculture says the price for locally produced eggs jumped 28%, from $6.91 in 2021 to $8.87 in 2024.
Long lines formed outside Eggs Hawaii on Waiakamilo Road Wednesday morning with customers waiting patiently to buy local eggs.
Moanalua residents Bill and Lisa Sandusky said they went to Costco, Foodland, and Times in their search for eggs.
“Everywhere, name it. I can’t find anything,” said Lisa Sandusky.
Salt Lake resident Erika Guillory is a caterer, and says the egg shortage has impacted her income.
“I was looking for eggs, and I couldn’t make a cake for one of the events that I had this weekend,” she said. “I’m not making as much money with the cakes that I normally make, but it’s hard to make a cake without eggs.”
Eggs Hawaii has a one-tray limit.
Meanwhile, the state says the price for imported mainland eggs increased by nearly 52% from $5.50 to $8.35.
“The increase in local production of eggs has been closing the price gap with imported mainland eggs,” said Hawaii Board of Agriculture chair Sharon Hurd.
“The avian influenza outbreak on the mainland is another example of why food security in Hawaii is so important. Supporting local farmers and ranchers helps to ensure our food supply,” Hurd said.
While avian flu has been confirmed in Hawaii, officials say no Hawaii egg production facilities have been impacted.

Justin Baldoni flaunts his ripped body while surfing in Hawaii as Blake Lively feud rages on

Wave goodbye to the drama … or at least sea ya later.
Justin Baldoni showed off his washboard abs while surfing in Hawaii as his legal drama with Blake Lively continues to unfold.
The actor’s bulging biceps and rock-hard core were on display as he was photographed riding the waves Thursday.
Baldoni, 41, went shirtless while wearing navy blue board shorts and allowed his hair to flow freely in the salty breeze.
His leg muscles were fully flexed as he maintained his balance on his green surfboard.
The director appeared to be in high spirits and was spotted smiling as he floated in the water and let himself tan under the hot sun. At one point, he was seen taking a stroll along the shore.
Baldoni was joined by his friend Garrett Gee, but his wife, Emily Baldoni, did not appear to be present for the beach day, though she has been in Hawaii with him.
Last month, Emily, 40, made her first public statement showing support for Justin since Lively, 37, sued him for sexual harassment in December 2024 and also accused him of launching a smear campaign against her while promoting their movie, “It Ends With Us.”
“Happy birthday my love,” Emily captioned a PDA-packed photo with her husband and their two children via Instagram on Jan. 24.
“Celebrating the man, husband, and father that you are. I’d choose you again and again,” she added.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2013, share daughter Maiya, 9, and son Maxwell, 7.
Justin, who lives in Los Angeles, escaped to the Aloha State after denying Lively’s claims and suing the New York Times, which broke the news of his co-star’s lawsuit, for libel in December.
He then filed a $400 million lawsuit against the “Gossip Girl” alum and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for defamation and extortion last month.
The “Jane the Virgin” alum has claimed Lively bullied him into letting her commandeer their film, which is based on Colleen Hoover’s 2016 novel of the same name and hit theaters last August.
Justin admitted in a recent podcast episode that he was struggling emotionally and experiencing anxiety due to his stressful year.
The filmmaker’s attorney has also claimed his client has been “devastated financially and emotionally” by the legal battle.
Justin and Lively’s trial is scheduled to kick off in March 2026.
