Global Egg Shortage

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

You know the situation is becoming dire when staple food items are no longer on the shelves. France is currently experiencing an egg shortage, and it is the largest egg producer in the Eurozone. The 1,500 billion eggs seen in production in 2021 are expected to decline for the first time on record this year. Reuters estimates that egg production will decline 8% in France, 3% in the EU overall, and 4.6% in the United States.

The bird flu crisis caused tens of millions of poultry deaths this year. I reported in May 2021 that there was a chicken shortage. The animal activists and climate change crowd, two groups that usually overlap, are completely at odds. Farmers are deemed the enemy by the climate change crowd who feels the need to reduce farming to eliminate carbon emissions. Northern Ireland was considering murdering over one million cattle and sheep to meet emission targets by 2050. Other countries are looking at doing the same, as it is expensive to host livestock. Feed and fertilizer are under fire, and farming, already a difficult career, has become less lucrative.

Eggs were previously a favorite staple, especially in economic hardships, as it is a cheap source of protein. French groceries have reported up to a 20% rise in egg prices since the start of the year. CNPO deputy chairman Loic Coulombel told Reuters that France would have previously looked to import food, but all of its trading partners are also in a shortage. Coulombel explained that companies have begun to change their recipes or halt production entirely as eggs have become too expensive, and this issue will only worsen global food shortages.

Quite sure that is the same 60 ct pack of eggs I was paying around 8 bucks a year ago. I now have about a dozen hens and pullets, selling the extras to neighbors, below store prices.

Meanwhile, I don’t know what to do with all the eggs we get from our chickens!

This is a good idea. I have canned powdered eggs stored for emergencies. I will look into this, thanks!

I have several dozen stored this way… open them carefully to make sure the eggshells aren’t compromised, but except for one or two, they store very well.

I did that when our Henson were in their prime and we had 9 or 10 dozen. The results were terrible. Now our hens are well past their prime and we only have 4 left. We only get 1 or 2 eggs per day and it is much more manageable.

There are plenty of locals selling excess eggs for $2-$3 per dozen. That is probably cheaper than keeping your own chickens and still getting real eggs.

TN, thanks for the great link. Eggs are God’s way to provide a steady source of protein when the hunting and fishing aren’t going well. Also “zeh eats ze bugs”, worms, weed seed, grass, leftovers, and vermin so we don’t have to.

Feed them to the hog you’re fattening up.

Let the eggs sit outside for about two to three months under some straw. Have a little Vicks Vapor Rub under your nose before throwing.

FYI – cattle (or any other non-human animal) cannot be “murdered.” The legal definition of “murder” is the intentional killing of a HUMAN.

Stop using the language of the radical left.

Hoover’s “A chikin in every pot” meant prosperity. Back then, you never killed a hen until she was old.

We’re also lucky, two neighbors have more eggs than they can handle. We give them canned cayenne, bell & jalapeño peppers, plus slaw, sauerkraut & broccoli.

“Control” – the ultimate luxe consumption. And tuberculosis, too. “I’ll be my huckleberry.” Well, weus is its own huckle bearer.

Weus•urers never stop. Vote (to controluxe other peoples’ eggs … aka “kick ‘em in the eggs”) harder.

It is not just eggs, it is everything literally. My wife came home from shopping yesterday and said that everything she had purchased had increased in price. Price watching is something we learned to do many years ago, and she could literally tell you which groceries were the cheapest and most expensive at each of the local stores.
While individual items increase and decrease, I have never seen anytime since the 70’s when everything increased in lock step. This is inflation on a scale that will not be addressed with 4% interest rates.
