Quite so. Back in January, I was writing about
"the global scramble for eggs" (sorry, bad pun)! So much so that Malaysia, which once exported eggs to Singapore and other parts of Asia, is now forced to buy large quantities from India for the first time ever. The US too has had an egg shortage. Several reasons: First, the war in Ukraine, which has caused feed prices to rise and forced many small-scale egg farmers in some of the world’s top suppliers to cut output. Second, avian influenza or bird flu has curtailed supplies of eggs and chicken in many countries.
