Turkey Sends 33 Million Pounds of Eggs to US Amid Bird Flu Shortage
To alleviate the U.S. egg shortage caused by a widespread avian influenza outbreak affecting nearly 129 million birds, Turkey has agreed to export 15,000 tonnes of eggs to the U.S. This shipment, lasting until July 2025, is a temporary measure supported by U.S. egg producers to stabilize prices and supply. While vaccination research is underway, widespread vaccination of poultry is currently infeasible. The agreement provides a crucial short-term solution to the ongoing crisis.
