An egg market analyst says highly pathogenic avian influenza is already causing disruptions to both the global and domestic supply chains.
Brian Moscogiuri with Eggs Unlimited says typically the US exports about 3 percent of total egg production. “With what is happening in terms of bird losses, the US markets have started to rise,” he says. “That potentially begins to price us out of some of those markets and then potentially even opens up the doors for imports down the road if we do get into a situation where we see shortages.”
But, he tells Brownfield, Europe is also dealing with the virus, plus their markets have been disrupted by the Russia/Ukraine war.
