Do low egg prices at farmers markets prove that high prices are just distributors scalping American consumers?

Egg 🥚 

Low egg prices at farmers markets may be the result of a number of factors. One possibility is that the farmers who sell at these markets are able to produce eggs more efficiently and at a lower cost than larger commercial egg producers. This could result in lower prices for consumers. However, it's also possible that the prices at farmers markets are lower because the farmers are not subject to the same regulations or overhead costs as larger commercial egg producers. It would be difficult to make a definitive conclusion that high prices in other marketplaces are due to "distributors scalping American consumers" just by looking at the low prices of eggs at farmers markets.

Another possibility is that farmers markets sell eggs that are organic, free-range, or have other attributes that are not found in commercial eggs and that is why they are more expensive.

It's also important to note that prices for goods can vary based on location, demand, and other market factors, so it's not accurate to make broad generalizations about egg prices without looking at specific data for each context.
