US Seeks Foreign Egg Aid Amidst Soaring Prices and International Backlash
Facing record-high egg prices due to a bird flu outbreak, the US Department of Agriculture contacted Denmark and other European nations to inquire about potential egg exports. These inquiries, part of a broader $1 billion effort to combat the crisis, follow existing US tariffs and threats of further economic sanctions against some European countries. While the Danish Egg Association confirmed receiving the request, it noted a global egg shortage, making significant exports unlikely. Turkey has already begun supplying eggs to the US.
