Egg Prices | Mexican Consulate | Canadian Consulate | Sacramento Street Vendor Bootcamp


Listen Later

Egg prices are setting new records in 2025. Also, the Mexican and Canadian consulates explain how they are navigating the Trump Administration. Finally, Sacramento’s Street Vendor Bootcamp.

Egg Prices
Egg prices have set new records this year. According to the Farm Bureau, egg prices are more than 350% per dozen compared to this time last year. And a carton in California leads the country at over $10 a dozen. A main driver is the current avian flu outbreak, which is impacting dairy herds too. Dan Sumner is a Professor of Agricultural Economics at UC Davis and joins Insight to explain why egg prices are taking a hit, while milk prices have remained stable.

Mexican Consulate
The first months of the Trump administration have created international uncertainty, especially when it comes to trade and immigration. These shifting federal decisions have had significant impacts on the countries bordering the United States. Christian Tonatiuh González Jiménez is the Consul General of Mexico in Sacramento, and discusses how his consulate is assisting Mexican nationals throughout the region. 

Canadian Consulate
We’re also joined by Rana Sarkar, Consul General of Canada in San Francisco, about how his country is responding to U.S. tariffs and how it could impact Californians.

Sacramento Street Vendor Bootcamp 
While street vending is legal, the rules and regulations that people have to follow vary from one county to the next. And finding out how to be in compliance can be confusing and difficult, especially for people whose primary language isn’t English. CapRadio’s Gerardo Zavala shared his reporting on a Street Vendor Bootcamp pilot program in Sacramento aimed at educating aspiring street vendors on how to get permits and walk them through the process of starting a business. We’re also joined by Ada Lisseth Dafne Davis, the owner of A Mi Estilo Peruvian Delights which sells empanadas at the Midtown Farmers Market.
