As the ongoing bird influenza continues to devastate the nation’s egg production, Turkey plans to export eggs into the U.S. through July in a preliminary agreement reached between the two nations.

Turkey has begun exporting around 15,000 tonnes of eggs to the United States, where an ongoing outbreak of bird flu disrupted supply, sent prices soaring and led to talks with other producers, a leading sector official said on Wednesday.

The price of eggs at U.S. grocery stores has climbed to a record high, nearly doubling from a year ago, as outbreaks of bird flu have led to shortages by wiping out millions of hens.

Commercially available eggs pass through testing, grading and inspection, with extra layers of protection in California, specifically.

Breakfast restaurants all over Fresno routinely serve up that many eggs and are reeling from the cost. Bird flu, also known as H5N1 avian flu, is driving the price increase, caused by an egg shortage as millions of chickens are killed in an effort to stop the spread of the disease.
