Finland Rejects US Egg Request Amidst Trade Tensions
The United States, facing a severe egg shortage due to avian flu, has sought egg exports from several European countries, including Finland. While Finland’s Poultry Association has been contacted, exporting is currently impossible due to a lack of market access negotiations and the extensive regulatory processes involved. Even if feasible, Finnish exports would be insignificant compared to the scale of the US shortage, given the vastly different numbers of laying hens. Other European nations have also faced similar challenges due to the global spread of avian flu.
