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.

Did they even say thanks just once?

The part that kills me about all this is that there is a bird flu vaccine, but US poultry farmers aren't allowed to use it because then we couldn't export eggs to other countries. There was a really good CBS Sunday Morning segment about this.
