The letter received last week said, “Washington is trying to estimate the amount they may possibly source.”
The Danish Egg Association said that they will look into it but there is no surplus of eggs in Europe. He said, “There is a lack of eggs everywhere globally as consumption is increasing and many are affected by bird flu,” he said.
The spokesman said that he had requested more information on the terms of such agreement, highlighted it. Egg exports The US was challenging due to rules related to cleanliness and other factors.
Turkey said in February it started exporting about 15,000 tonnes of eggs to the United States. Brook Rolins, Secretary, US Agriculture Department, announced a plan to search for imported eggs as part of an attempt of $ 1 billion to deal with bird flu last month. The US embassy in Copenhagen did not immediately respond to the remarks request.
