Due to the avian influenza outbreak in the USA, 40 million chickens have been culled nationwide. Following the decrease in the number of chickens, there are almost no eggs left in the country. This situation has led to a rise in egg prices in the USA. While the average egg prices have increased by 15.2%, the annual increase rate has reached 53%.
USA TO IMPORT EGGS FROM TURKEY AFTER 2 YEARS
In an effort to overcome the crisis, the US government found a solution in Turkey. After a 2-year hiatus, egg exports from Turkey to the USA have begun. The first request from the USA was for 22,000 tons.
50 CENTS FUND DEDUCTION PER KILOGRAM
In Turkey, the Ministry of Trade has decided to implement a fund deduction of 50 cents per kilogram for egg exports to maintain the balance in the domestic market. Accordingly, businesses exporting 1 kilogram of eggs will pay 50 cents.
