In Pennsylvania, USA, miscreants attacked a distribution trailer and stole a million eggs. Their price is said to be $ 40,000. It is 35 lakh rupees in Indian currency. The police has started investigating this theft case, but it is not known. Eggs have been looted by attacking the trailer standing in a parking lot.

In America, there has been a huge jump in the prices of eggs in the last few months. The average price of eggs in the US has reached $ 4.15 per dozen. More than 60 percent prices have increased compared to last year. The real reason behind this is the rules of killing millions of chickens and cage free eggs due to bird flu. According to data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the prices of eggs have increased since Trump was elected President in November. Many shops have set a limit when eggs are purchased by customers. The Agriculture Department says that the price of eggs may increase by 20 percent.

More than 14 million chickens were killed
More than 14.5 crore chickens, turkey and other birds have been killed after the current bird flu. Most of these chickens were eggs. The cage free law is also disrupting the supply chain. Under this law, a minimum space has been fixed to keep chickens. The increase in the prices of eggs is directly affecting the American public facing inflation.
