Recall that, amid the bird flu epidemic, egg prices in the US have reached record levels - at least USD 5-10 (UAH 208-416) for 12 pieces.
Some buyers admit that they have become less likely to buy eggs due to high prices. It is predicted that the situation in the US is unlikely to improve in the near future. In addition, stores are experiencing supply disruptions, and buyers are being limited to the number of packages in one hand.
Meanwhile, the US asked Finland for egg supplies, but was refused.
