The United States purchased chicken eggs from Russia for the first time since 1992.

This measure was prompted by a sharp increase in egg prices in the country due to the bird flu epidemic. According to RIA Novosti, Washington decided to expand imports in order to stabilize domestic prices . Despite a decline in egg prices in recent months, they remain 16.4% above last year's levels. In July, the United States purchased $455,000 worth of chicken eggs from RUSSIA. Russia has significantly increased egg production this year, but is facing a decline in their market value, which in July reached 83.2 rubles per dozen—the lowest level since the summer of 2023. Brazil remains the largest supplier of eggs to the United States , with a volume of $8.8 million.
