The United States have also asked for more egg exports in Germany. “In fact, we have received an investigation from the US,” a spokesperson for the German Federal Association of EGG. The background: After the outbreaks of bird flu, eggs in the US are scarce and duration.
As it became known last week, the American authorities have already asked for more exports from chicken eggs in other European countries.
Also questions in Denmark and Sweden
According to Media reports, corresponding investigations were received by industrial associations in Denmark and Sweden. Due to the plans of US President Donald Trump to buy Greenland, the relationship with Denmark and the United States is currently tense.
Germany also has no eggs in abundance
According to earlier information from the president of the Federal Association EI, Hans-Peter Goldnick, small quantities are already exported to the US over the spot market. The volume is very low. Because even Germany is abundant: only 73 percent of the eggs used in the Republic were produced in this country in 2023. The rest has been imported.
Bird flu has left tracks
The most recent outbreak of bird flu is responsible for the egg shortage in the United States and the increased prices. The H5N1 virus is currently widespread for wild birds around the world. In the United States, the pathogen led to outbreaks in poultry and milk companies. To contain the plague, countless laying hens were demolished.
A confirmation from the US government for the various questions about eggs in Europe was initially not available.
