How did the US respond to its egg shortage, and what alternative solutions have emerged?

While Veneto is a major egg producer (26% of Italy's 1.5 billion euro market), its current production is insufficient to meet US demand. The US is now importing eggs from Turkey and South Korea.

How does the significant price difference between US and Mexican eggs contribute to increased egg seizures at the US-Mexico border?

The shortage stems from the bird flu impacting nearly 19 million birds in January, driving up egg prices to almost $10 per dozen in some areas—compared to around $2 in Mexico. This price disparity fuels cross-border egg smuggling attempts, despite import restrictions due to disease concerns.

How have consumers responded to the high price of eggs and the increased smuggling attempts?

The high cost of eggs in the US, driven by inflation and disease, has created a black market fueled by cross-border smuggling and online sales. This has led to a surge in home poultry farming as Americans seek affordable alternatives. The Justice Department is investigating potential price-fixing by major egg producers.

How did the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines demonstrate both the potential for and the fragility of international health cooperation?

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in global health systems, highlighting the critical role of sustained funding and international collaboration. The rapid vaccine development demonstrates the potential for swift action, but the subsequent decline in investment in public health reveals a concerning trend. This decreased funding, coupled with the spread of misinformation, impairs the ability to effectively respond to future health crises.

What are the immediate consequences of the avian influenza outbreak in the US, considering both human and economic impacts?

The largest documented avian influenza outbreak is affecting multiple continents, primarily birds but also many mammals. In March 2023, the H5N1 strain was detected in dairy cows in the US for the first time, spreading to 17 states and leading to the culling of 170 million poultry. At least one human death has been reported, along with 70 other infections. However, a CDC study indicates a much higher rate of infection than officially reported.",

What are the long-term implications of the avian flu outbreak on the US egg industry and its capacity to meet consumer demand?

While wholesale egg prices have recently decreased, consumer prices remain high and are expected to stay elevated until the end of the year. This is due to the time needed to replace culled birds and increase production, coupled with continued avian flu concerns impacting breeding decisions. The shortage highlights the vulnerability of the US egg supply chain to disease outbreaks.
