Ep 208: All Cracked Up - Understanding Today’s Egg Prices feat. Kris Lance

Hard boiled. Over medium. Scrambled. Poached. Deviled. There are lots of ways to enjoy eggs, one of the most popular and least expensive sources of healthy protein available, but lately there has been only one way to describe them: expensive.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes back Kris Lance, Vice President and Senior Director at Una, for a monthly conversation about current news stories. Kris has experience in multiple industries and has his finger on the pulse of the trends and topics that procurement, sourcing, and supply chain professionals need to be aware of.

In this month’s discussion, Kris and Kelly talk about gradual rise and sudden fall of egg prices in America: 

• What factors have contributed to the high and rising cost of eggs over the last few years
• Whether we are starting to see signs that those costs - and prices - are on their way back down
• Why procurement and supply chain professionals are uniquely positioned to be rational about supply shocks and the impact they have on consumers
