America's egg shortage worsens by the week. Supermarkets nationwide are running out of eggs as prices hyperinflate. Egg arbitrage is rising as people attempt to smuggle egg and poultry products across MexicoUS border for resale in the States where they can reap hefty profits.
US Customs and Border Protection reported a 108% increase in egg and poultry seizures at land ports on the border from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31. The uptick in egg smuggling comes as retail prices erupt in the US as the avian flu forced producers to cull tens of millions of birds and egg-laying hens over the last year.

US egg prices have topped the national average gasoline per gallon price at the pump. As a result of the egg crisis, internet search trends on Google show Americans are panic searching where to find egg-laying hens for their backyard.
The search trend "where to buy chickens near me" erupted to a near multi-decade high. Besides the Covid spike, "how to raise chickens" has spiked to levels not seen in a decade.

Food price anxiety got you a little freaked out? Don't worry it's not just you. Develop your own hustle and quit depending on a system that is hauling ass over a cliff.
