American authorities have turned to the industry association Danish Eggs and asked about the possibility of exporting eggs to the USA, reports Danish TV2 with reference to the industry magazine Fødevarewatch. The egg shortage in the USA is due to bird flu. Over 40 million animals were put down last year and prices have been driven up, which has created a political debate. Among other things, President Donald Trump blamed egg prices on former President Joe Biden in his speech to Congress. Whether Denmark will export eggs is unclear. A number of export requirements stand in the way at present, according to Danish Eggs.

There are a few additional points

  • Multiple European countries have gotten similar requests, not just Denmark

  • American egg policy requires washing the eggs while European policy prohibits this, making it highly inconvenient.

  • They would want assurance that America won't suddenly put tariffs on the eggs.

  • If america were to pay upwards of 1€ per egg, maybe they'd have a deal.
