Canada Considers US Egg Import Plea Amid Price Soar
To combat soaring egg prices, which have increased 237 percent since January 2021, the Trump administration is exploring temporary egg imports to supplement domestic supplies. This measure, detailed in an op-ed by Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, aims to mitigate the impact of avian flu, which has decimated the U.S. egg-laying hen population. Imports will be subject to rigorous safety standards to protect both consumers and American farmers. Canada, the largest foreign egg supplier to the U.S., has indicated a willingness to assist should a request be made, despite current trade tensions between the two countries.
