U.S. to Import Eggs from Turkey and South Korea

The U.S. government, under President Donald Trump’s administration, plans to import eggs from Turkey and South Korea to address rising egg prices. Officials have also confirmed ongoing discussions with several other countries to further stabilize the market.

At a press briefing at the White House, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins stated, “In the short term, we will import hundreds of millions of eggs.” This information was reported by the BBC.

Egg Price Surge in the U.S.

Despite President Trump’s promise to reduce prices, egg costs have surged by over 65% in the past year, with forecasts predicting an additional 41% increase in 2025.

The import decision comes as the U.S. grapples with a severe outbreak of bird flu. To combat the crisis, the administration has introduced a $1 billion plan to control the disease.

In February, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced a five-point strategy to regulate egg prices, including:

$500 million for biosecurity measures

$100 million for vaccine research and development

$400 million in financial aid for farmers

Bird Flu’s Impact on Egg Supply

Due to the bird flu outbreak, American farmers have been forced to cull millions of chickens. Secretary Rollins confirmed that discussions are ongoing with other nations to secure additional egg supplies but did not specify which ones.

She added, “Once our poultry population recovers and the egg production industry is fully operational, we will return to domestic egg production. We expect this to normalize within a few months.”

Meanwhile, reports from AFP indicate that poultry industry groups in Poland and Lithuania have been contacted by U.S. embassies regarding potential egg exports.

The U.S. poultry industry has long struggled with bird flu, but a particularly severe outbreak since 2022 has led to the culling of approximately 156 million chickens, causing egg prices to soar to record highs.

Political Context of Rising Prices

During last year’s election campaign, Trump made the rising cost of essential goods, including eggs, a key issue. Earlier this month, in a speech to
