About National egg inventory

Shell egg inventory is the stock of graded eggs on hand, reported weekly by USDA in thousands of 30-dozen cases. It is the supply gauge behind the price: inventory falling below its five-year normal for the week signals a tight market, which is why the homepage board ranks the tightest regions first. Unlike the price series, inventory has been reported for years, so its five-year band is real.
