"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.

      This reminds of the 90s TV Show Dinosaurs (still an all-time classic) where they had a two parter about war… and what was the cause of the war? Nuts! Literally. War over nuts and their increasing prices and blaming other people for it. So war it is

      One of the funniest anti war episodes of all time.
