Dutch and other European egg producers may benefit from the shortage of eggs threatens to emerge in the United States by an outbreak of bird flu in the mid-west of the country. That said President Hubert Andela of the Dutch Association of Egg Traders Saturday
.
In the US, meanwhile killed 40 million laying hens, which according Andela more than 10 percent of domestic production has dropped.
He expects the US will now speed up the approval of imports of eggs and egg products from Europe. “The US does claim to be a free trade nation, but in practice they keep everyone out. I think there now will change soon. “
Apart from the effects of the still-expanding avian influenza existed in the US for a high demand for protein from chicken egg yolks. That’s according to Andela by the popularity of protein-citizens, hamburgers with extra protein.
Dutch egg producers have since last year been addressed by applications to the US authorities serve their products to the US allowed to export.
Andela also expects an increase in demand from Asia, where the Americans usually lots of eggs and egg products for export. The bird flu outbreak is to export now silent.
“In part, the trade will shift, but the Netherlands and other European countries will certainly benefit from rising demand from Asia and the US,” expects Andela.
The Netherlands has 32 million laying hens. Which together produce about 10 billion eggs per year. Two thirds crosses the border, as egg consumption and in processed form.
Dutch consumers need, according Andela provisionally not have to worry about a shortage of eggs and rising prices if there will even more eggs border pass
