"Among the notable products imported are various fruits and vegetables from Mexico; apple juice, tilapia and cod from China; and a small amount of wheat from both Canada and Europe," said Quoc Le.

Why Is There an Egg Shortage Right Now?
The latest report by the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service, which was published last week, said bird flu outbreaks—and fires in poultry facilities—resulted in a total loss of 39.9 million egg-laying hens across 12 U.S. states in 2024.
The report added that 43 percent of those losses occurred in the last two months of the year, with "persistent and significant outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in commercial table egg layer flocks through December."
