“The amount we could export would not solve their egg shortage,” says the head of the Finnish Poultry Association.
The US doesnt have a real egg shortage btw. There is also no impact that is larger than in previous years from the bird flu. The egg monopolists are just making/buying fewer egg laying hens and producing fewer eggs to drive the prices and profit margins up.
This entire “egg shortage” could be solved in a matter of weeks if Trump ordered the companies to do so.
Yup. Egg production is down ~2% from last year. Prices have doubled.
Egg monopolists are just saying “Fuck you, Pay me” and price gouging. Most of this country’s problems stem from not breaking up big business.
