Turkey plans to export 15,000 tonnes of eggs to the United States to alleviate disruptions caused by a bird flu outbreak in the country. The move aims to help meet rising demand for poultry products in the US market.
The export deal is part of efforts to stabilize the global egg supply chain, which has been severely impacted by the avian influenza outbreak. Turkey’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry announced the plan in a statement, emphasizing its commitment to supporting US farmers.
The US is one of the largest consumers of poultry products in the world, and the bird flu outbreak has caused significant disruptions to the industry. The export of Turkish eggs will help mitigate these effects and ensure a stable supply chain for US consumers.
