Trump’s administration plans to import eggs from Turkey and South Korea and negotiates with other countries hoping to mitigate high prices for US consumer, officials have confirmed.
“We speak hundreds of millions of eggs for a short time,” Brooke Rolinz’s secretary of agriculture said to the White House.
It follows that the administration has announced a $ 1 billion plan (792 million pounds) to combat the ramping bird flu epidemic, which forced US farmers to break tens of millions of chickens.
Despite the promise of President Trump’s company to reduce prices, the cost of the eggs has grown by more than 65% over the last year, and this is the case Is forecast to increase by 41% In 2025.
Roliniz said its department also negotiates with other countries to ensure new supplies, but did not specify what regions.
“When our chicken populations intersect, and we will again be a complete industry from its eggs, hopefully in a couple of months we move back to our inner egg layers and moving these eggs to the shelf,” she said.
The Polish and Lithuanian birds associations stated on Friday, and the US embassies also addressed their egg exports, AFP reports.
“In February, the Embassy in Warsaw asked our organization if Poland will be interested in exporting eggs to the US market,” Katarina Gauronsk told the news agency.
In February, the US Department of Agriculture introduced a $ 1 billion five -point plan to resolve the price of eggs, with a $ 500 million budget for biological security measures, approximately $ 100 million for the study and development and $ 400 million on financial aid programs.
Trump’s administration has said it will provide commercial egg farms the best practices and consulting services for free, as well as pay up to 75% of the cost of vulnerabilities to help prevent bird flu spread.
“Our plan was to invest a considerable amount of money for checking all over the country to force USDA to help tabs on its eggs provide their sheds,” Rolinz said. “… And since we started doing it recently, we have observed a significant decrease in bird flu.”
Despite the fact that bird flu, or H5N1, has been spreading the bird for years, the outbreak, which begins in 2022, applied chaos on farms, killed more than 156 million birds and sending egg prices.
Prices for egg eggs became the site of Trump rally last year in the presidential run, when he sought to take advantage of voters with the rise in the cost of basic subjects.
During his appeal to the US Congress earlier this month, he accused the high prices of eggs of his predecessor Joe Biden.
“Joe Biden particularly allowed the cost of the eggs to come out of control – and we work hard to return it,” he added.
The prices for the eggs rose when the Biden administration sent millions of birds that lay eggs last year amid bird flu outdoors, although prices continue to rise in the early stages of Trump’s second presidency.
