In response to soaring egg prices, the United States has approached Denmark and other European nations for assistance in egg exports. This surge in prices, which have risen by 59% year-over-year, is largely due to a bird flu outbreak impacting laying hens.
The US Department of Agriculture has formally inquired about the capacity of these countries to supply eggs. Alongside Denmark, nations such as the Netherlands and Turkey are also being considered as potential sources.
Turkey has already announced plans to export a record number of eggs to the US. As the Biden administration navigates this egg crisis, it is simultaneously dealing with tense diplomatic relations over Greenland, underscoring the complex interplay between agriculture and international relations.
The urgency of the situation is further emphasized by a $1 billion initiative aimed at combating the bird flu outbreak and stabilizing egg availability in the domestic market.
