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

US authorities have turned to Europe for help with the country’s severe egg shortage. The shortfall is due to bird flu, which has plagued the United States for several years.

The Finnish Poultry Association says it has been contacted about exporting eggs to the US. The organisation’s executive director, Veera Lehtilä, told Yle on Saturday that exporting eggs does not seem to be possible at the moment because no market access negotiations have been held with US authorities. This can be a drawn-out process involving extensive inspections and studies.

    Don’t give them any eggs and let them see how destructive the Trump regime really is when completedly isolated from the rest of the world.

      I’m personally dealing with this daily working in a grocery in America. They will NEVER EVER understand. It’s impossible. The people who elected Trump refuse reality. Every single one of them is cussing and pissed off and shitting their pants over the eggs, but not a single one of them will ever accept that Trump is making the situation far far worse (like when he caused thousands to die from COVID).

      But at least if the entire country collapses like it seems it’s about it, we can have a revolution and see him in gallows.

      In the meantime I’m just not able to have any eggs. Oh, fun fact also, conservatives made it illegal to own chickens in my city. 🙃

        How the fuck is this possible. Can they really control what the fuck you do in your garden?

          Ha ha ha, I am jealous of your naivety. Americans will not shut up about freedom and rights but we actually have lost many basic rights other countries don’t think twice about. That being said, this is specifically a city ordinance, not statewide or national. Not that there’s any shortage of equally mental laws that are across the country.

          As in, they will fine you and tell you that you must get rid of them and if you don’t they will take them from you.

            Hahaha, no I get that! I was trying to ask what exactly about owning chickens is illegal. Is it a noise thing, smell? Risk of disease? Are ducks illegal?

            Do they just hate chickens?
