"The amount we could export would not solve their egg shortage," says the head of the Finnish Poultry Association.

Summary

Finland has declined a U.S. request to export eggs amid a severe American shortage caused by bird flu.

The Finnish Poultry Association cited the lack of prior trade agreements and complex regulatory hurdles. Even if exports were possible, Finland’s limited egg production would not significantly impact the U.S. crisis.

Other European nations, including Sweden and Denmark, also face difficulties meeting U.S. demand, while Europe grapples with its own egg shortages.

The U.S. has turned to countries like Turkey and the Netherlands for supplies as bird flu remains a global issue.

    Bird flu is the nature’s way of saying how cruel and fucked up the system is and how it should be abolished. Humans don’t need eggs for anything.

      Let’s leave it at that.
      If companies treat chicken just a little bit better bird flu won’t be a huge problem anymore.

      Humans don’t need eggs for anything.

      This is also true inasmuch as this isn’t an emergency for humans. Yet. Not the eggs anyhow.
